Description
Bernie Wrightson Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein Illustration Original Art (Marvel, 1983). "A thousand feelings pressed upon me, and I wept bitterly." One of the books that is spoken of most reverently in the comic industry is Bernie Wrightson's work on Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein. Many regard Wrightson's Frankenstein to be his defining achievement. He began working on the illustrations in 1977, and the book was not finished and published until 1983, making this a labor of love, to be sure. One of the things that was so astounding about Wrightson's work on this was the intense and crazy amount of detail he included. This entire piece is a fantastic study of light and shadow, created in hatch and cross-hatching skills that are almost unmatched in the industry. The scene depicted here comes late in the novel, as Victor Frankenstein journeys by ship from Ireland to France.Produced in an abundance of black ink over graphite on bright white illustration board. Signed in the top left of the 11" x 16" image area. Plexiglas front framed to 20" x 25". In Excellent condition.
