Wrightson - Heart of a Vampire - Detective Comics 455 Page 3 - Concept Art Owner: Joseph Vaughn Comment posted on 1/24/2024
John Kelly said:
This piece intriugued me so I put on my "Detective" hat, pun inteneded and I think I have figured out what this page is. I believe this was done in 1975 by Berni Wrightson as a page for Mike Grell to study, or use for his story from Detective Comics #455 called Heart of a Vampire. This was Mike Grell's first stab at Batman, so I guess Berni helped him out by doing this page and there may be others. You can find the whole issue online and if you see page #5 you'll see the layout is exactly like this, except drawn by Mike Grell. Grell said the story was plotted and broken down by Berni Wrightson. Part of the story is told at Comic Book Resources, but Grell's memory fails him as he says Berni did 2" by 3" thumbnail breakdowns. Possibly the other pages were thumbnails, but this page is obviously finished and large. Interesting piece of comic art history. ![]() Thanks for the detective work John, I added an image of Mike Grell's finished Page 3 version of Wrightson's concept art, and altered the listing accordingly. |

THINGS IN THE NIGHT Bernie Wrightson Tribute Piece Owner: JOE JUSKO Comment posted on 8/30/2020 This is such a beautiful piece and I'm glad to read the story of yours and Bernie's intended collaboration. You may not have finished the fully imagined painting, but your tribute beautifully compliments the finished Wrightson pencils you completed several years back for me. I was also fortunate enough to have Bernie sign the finished penciled image you completed for me, and he was really delighted to see you'd complimented his Werewolf's with a Jusko Girl... Sure hope they publish the Wrightson tribute someday! Thanks for posting this! |

Wrightson Frankenstein Alive, Alive! Print Owner: Doug MedicAR Comment posted on 5/22/2020 Bernie sold and signed 100s (if not 1000s) of these at his ComicCon appearances, and for a time I believe it could be ordered from his website... I owned a limited edition Giclee of this piece, but then was fortunate enough to work with Bernie and Liz to purchase the original, and had Bernie sign it "in the art" so it could be framed like a plate. This is one of my all time favorite Wrightson pieces! |

Bernie Wrightson - Swamp Thing Finished Portfolio Plate Original Art Owner: Alex R Comment posted on 5/22/2020 This was one of the finished plates Bernie did for a Swamp Thing portfolio which never came to fruition, after DC refused to Bernie a fair share of the profits for its release... I wanted to buy this beautiful page, but missed my opportunity... Now I know where it went!!! Congratulations |

Bernie Wrightson: Unused Spirit Cover Prelim Owner: Keith Becker Comment posted on 2/7/2019 What a great tribute piece from Wrightson to Eisner... I'm a bit of a Wrightson fanatic myself, since the first time I saw his work around 1972/73... I have an appreciation for many of the greats, to include King "Frazetta", but Wrightson's work was unique and fit my personal interests (and imagination) to a tee... Thanks for sharing! |

Matthew Clark Domino after Wrightson Owner: Sean Marsh Comment posted on 4/13/2016 I agree with Steve... Other than what I believe to be the "Iron Man" mask, I may not know the characters, but it's a great spin on Wrightson, just lacking the Ax. :) |
