1 candle is better than 16!
Wow,that's a pretty early Wrightson you have there,it's fantastic !
Beautiful in a creepy sort of way!
Just now posting? Awesome starter page. That book is SO Jack Davis. Did you ever ask Jack about Bernie?
I specially love to know the support of your parents to start on this path of no rseturn and no regrets, and I can relate in many ways to that, super congrats
I know where the beating heart is to go along with the head. Right here!
Your parents chose well! Congrats on a beautiful page and a great backstory.
Such an amazing birthday gift!
A crown jewel of any collection.
Nice and ghouly sweet sixteen! This is great quality and probably exceeds the worth of a car from back then.
Great one Benno!
16? My kids would not be happy, lol. What a gift, congrats!
Boy, that wasn't a start, it was a leap!
A clear example of a great piece that may not leave your possession - and wow, what awesome parents!
Benno I have such love for these masthead illustrations Bernie did in those Warren magazines. In my opinion much of Wrightson's very best work was done in those mags around 1974, and this gem is a perfect example. All the great Warren stories, spot illustrations, and inside covers he did there were just very special.
And this Uncle Creepy is a full size inside front cover illo isn't it!? One of the best!
What a gift! Good for you for holding on to it
What an awesome present this was. Beautifully creepy work by the master. Major congrats on owning such a great piece!
Fantastic, a Wrightson masterpiece a-head its time!
Can your parents adopt me?
How does one keep such an amazing page to themselves all of those years?; stunning example of the genius of Wrightson.
I've heard you tell the tale on Felix before and (if i remember right) I love the idea that you opted for this instead of something more "typical" as a gift. And moreover you hung it in your college dorm room!
Pure love.
I framed it immediately(again, my parents paid for that) and though I have reframed it, otherwise it has hung everywhere I've lived for now close to 50 years. Definitely a keeper! 😜
Outstanding Bernie Wrightson splash! Love seeing Uncle Creepy as a candle with the wax melting down his forehead. Wrightson was so good at knowing just what scenes would creep us out. And then bringing them to life...or death.
...now that is something!!
Ummmm Wow. What increbibly cool parents. An amazing example. Congrats.
