RIP BERNIE WRIGHTSON 1948-2017

The co-creator of Swamp Thing had died at the age of 68.

As a avid reader of comics during the 70's and 80's I came to know and love Wrightson's work.

One of my most treasured possessions is the 1982 comic version of CREEPSHOW which Wrightson illustrated. Bernie had a certain way of drawing and you could always distinguish his work from other artists.

He had been ill with brain cancer for some time and finally gave in to it on March 19th, 2017.
