11" x 17" original 1st prelim pencil drawing by Bernie Wrightson (signed) for May- 1973 cover date image
In a career spanning nearly half a century, Bernie Wrightson redefined the look and feel of comic art. His rich, expressive line and delicately rendered backgrounds draw the viewer into a twilight world of wonder, mystery, and childlike awe; his humans warped and mutated; his monsters relatable and humanistic.
Catch a rare glimpse of the maestro's preliminary pencils for the classic cover of Swamp Thing 4. Notice how fully realized his vision is even at the early, nascent stage of its creation, and how, with even the most rudimentary of pencil strokes, his command of character and setting are unparalleled.
