Love this piece.  Saw it on eBay recently but I guess you beat me to it.  I picked up the recent Elric cover he did, and this is so different, but equally as amazing!

This is not an advertisement, but one of Bernie's layout pages for The Studio book.

Fantastic catch!  Just pulled up page 128 in the studio and you are spot on!  Looks like an early draft as he switched up this page but the other page is almost the same.

Nice find. This very well could be from 1970. This piece looks like it's from a group of drawings Jeffrey showed me at his apartment studio in August/September 1970 when I interviewed him for my magazine Reality. He was excited about the loose, linework he was getting from some new archival marker pens he recently bought.

Thanks for the context!  I was trying to pinpoint where it fell in his career, and that aligns perfectly!

Wow! Where did you find this?!! This is what I consider the definitive Elric!!!

Picked it up from John Davey over at Jayde Designs while working on Urish's Hoard.  Researching that book was a dangerous endevour for my wallet.

Fantastic! It was a great little Con too! It was the first of the 'new' Bristol cons.... and was in the lovely Watershed ( before they moved it to the grim Trainshed next to the Train station in later years. )

I was there with our Judge Dredd fanzine 'Class of 79', and 2000ad hadn't paid for a table, so they did their signings and portfolio reviews with us!

Frank did such an awesome poster for it! Congrats!

You wouldn't happen to have the even program or con poster would you?  I'd love to have a picture or buy a copy if it's available!

According to longtime collector Ray Cuthbert on a Wrightson FB post, "Berni cut the pages into panels, he told Bo Hampton, and sold each panel for $150 around 1978"

I've heard that before as well, but I think the originals have more border than appears in the print version.  I'd have to take it out of the frame to verify that.

That's beautiful...matches up with mine nicely

I saw yours on Heritage.  Glad I bought mine way earlier. 

When I moved to Maryland as a kid I worked for Joel Pollack owner of Big Planet Comics and one time art dealer for Berni.  I remember visiting his house and seeing the title splash for Frankenstein hanging in the front hallway and I was floored.  Now I visit Berni's Frankenstein peices in museums when I get the chance.  Such a talent.

Well, I suppose at those prices, at the time, he made the right decision financially, if not artistically. Its like seeing all those Prince Valiant fragments. Any chance of a pic of the full printed page as an additional image?

I not sure these were painted four to a page and cut up.  I think they were just printed that way.
