Back 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!

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...
