DescriptionBack in the summer of 1972, I bought House of Mystery 204 right off the stands, and it struck me like a thunderbolt. Who was this Bernie Wrightson guy? I was just mesmerized by the style and substance of this artist, and at a time when I really didn't know the identities of specifc artists. It was a revelation to me then, and amazing to me now to see the original in all it's black and white glory. Seeing it, with grown up eyes, I must conclude that I had pretty good taste for a 12 year old! I must also thank both Irving and Joe for really going the extra mile to help make this possible. Much appreciated gentlemen!Social/Sharing |

Frankenstein Shmankenstein. It just does not get any better than pre-75 Wrightson DC art.

Simply amazing. One of the reasons I was hooked on this series as a kid.

Nice one! Very fluid Wrightson inks as per normal for this period of his work -- very much in the style he used for SWAMP THING.

As if I wasn't jealous enough of your ability...I'm even more jealous of your collection. Bernie Wrightson is one of my all-time faves and you've got some great Wrightson art.

This is the BEST House of Mystery cover from it's horror comics format. I also remember buying it off the newsstands. Great find!

Worth "paying through the nose" for, and possibly giving up a couple minor organs... What a fantastic work from a fantastic time! I was 12 as well, when I bought this off the stand! Very cool...
