Is Manapul coloring his own work?, because that's honestly the best part.

drat. I always love what I see of his work. I haven't followed DC for a long while though, and I'm not really interested in picking them up now either. Does he have any non-DC stuff that anyone would recommend?

Has Bernie Wrightson been mentioned in this thread yet? I'd forgotten how much I loved his work until I stumbled on some of it recently. Just gonna post this link because it's all great, especially the black and white stuff. https://www.google.com/search?q=ber...iw=1067&bih=555

Dark Horse put out a gorgeous hardcover collection (same size/binding as the Hellboy "library" collections) of the Wrightson Frankenstein a few years back. It's still quite affordable. There's pretty much no excuse for NOT owning it.

I wasn't exaggerating before, I really think it's one of the finest pieces of graphic storytelling ever. It takes the best of the '70s wave of Creepy/Eerie magazine style and combines it with a sensibility similar to Max Ernst's "A Week of Kindness." I can't imagine one image summing up "the Gothic novel" like this one.

Really wish him and Buccellato had been put on that instead of Detective. I'm sure TEC will do better numbers but it's still just another goddamn Batman book and not even the primary one.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:Wrightson's illustrated Frankenstein is one of the great triumphs of the medium in the 20th century. I can't stop looking at this. It looks like rough inkwork at first and then you realize just how loving well done every single texture is. Everything pops out perfectly, most significantly the two figures, who read perfectly cleanly despite all the noise and detail surrounding them. Hell, its not even really "noise", since most of the details are pretty simple and yet... man I don't even know. Like a lot of this stuff in this thread is gorgeous, but this just makes me gape. There's just black and white and yet there's so much more "color" in it than I could ever loving put together. gently caress. e: Like I just came from the political cartooning thread so maybe that has something to do with it but I really can't get over just how loving well the two figures stand out from everything. People using actual 1 inch thick black borders do less of a good job than this. Tiler Kiwi fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jan 25, 2014 |

Man, I really really need to get around to getting this soon. Frankenstein is well...special to me. And the amount of love put into this shows that he's most definitely special to Wrightson. Also, it keeps bugging me that that two page spread is scanned incorrectly. Clearly they just laid the hardcover on the scanner and worked from there, and there's about a centimeter missing from the middle.

There are people who think Bernie Wrightson is incredible, and there are people who are blind. Anyone who is not in one of those two categories can be safely ignored when it comes to art.

So, has Wrightson ever done a version of Pit & The Pendulum? Because I was just watching the Full Moon/Stuart Gordon 1991 film and he's listed in the special thanks of the end credits...

Hm... the Creepy and Eerie magazine guys definitely did their fair share of Poe adaptations, but I don't specifically recall a Wrightson Pit & The Pendulum. Maybe Gordon brought him on as a consultant or something, or he was just overall inspired by his gothic art style. Either way, if you want some horror comics with fantastic art, these two collections are loving great. edit: well what do ya know, I googled around and found this unbelievably dope unpublished Edgar Allan Poe portfolio by Bernie Wrightson, including some illustrations for The Pit & The Pendulum.  gently caress, that rules.

Pretty Deadly is a really gorgeous book and Emma Rios is crazy talented. Also helps that Jordie Bellaire really knows how to bring her work out too. So a slighty NSFW scene from Pretty Deadly #4    And a piece from issue #3

I appreciate the black and white Wrightson stuff more than his paintings, even though those are still pretty great. When his stuff is colored, it seems to lose something, but a lot of that may have been due to the limitations of the medium at the time. I guess I'm just most taken by his line work, use of light and shadow and especially the directional cross hatching he uses that adds texture and dimension to the things he's drawing that you normally don't see in comics. Most comic artists tend to put hard lines around everything and then cross hatch the shading in patterned ways that tend to flatten the art and rob of its three dimensionality. What Wrightson is doing reminds me a lot of etchings and the sort of...I don't know what to call it..."linear shading" that you see on U.S. currency or something. So much of what he's defining in these drawings are done through clever use of contrast, like Rembrant. When he shows you a circle or a flask, there's no line around it that says "this is the shape of a flask".

Speaking of Bellaire, I love this page by Garry Brown from The Massive #19. That face with the lattice pattern shadow across it is superb.

"Don't worry bro I'll stop that pendelum for yo- oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" But yeah this is the first comic artist where I would loving buy his poo poo in a heartbeat and frame it on my wall and not feel the slightest bit of nerd shame from it.

The more I look at this the more I think, yeah that image almost definitely served for some art direction for the film. The shape of the pendulum, the back walls with spooky red drawings, the way the rats look, the one rat making a bad choice with where to start gnawing, all in line with the film.
