GOODBYE, BERNIE WRIGHTSON...


It was only yesterday that I gazed upon several of your Swamp Thing illustrations and smiled with great admiration. It only goes to show that you sure knew how to do monsters right, Mr. Wrightson. Thanks to you, the macabre became magnified in not only the aforementioned, but in such signficant publications as "Eerie"; "Creepy"; "House of Mystery"; "House of Secrets"; "Creepshow"; "Frankenstein"; "Cycle of the Werewolf"; and "Heavy Metal". Also, your contributions to the DC and Marvel superhero scenes remain respected and in many ways, unsurpassed. No matter how or when readers come across your work, your memory will live on. Bless you for making horror and fantasy so memorable, so moving, my dear, artistic friend.
