From his official Facebook page:

Legendary comic book artist and illustrator Bernie Wrightson has lost his long battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his wife Liz, sons John and Jeffrey, stepson Thomas, and countless friends and fans. We will have a celebration of life for him later this year. His full obituary can be found here: www.berniewrightson.com

He was amazing. I tried to emulate his style once. It was not easy. I can see why it took him 10 years to complete Frankenstein.

he made such great and horrific work, my only complaint is he wasn't more prolific

Fucking hell, that's a heartbreaker.

According to wikipedia, he spent 7 years doing approx. 50 detailed pen and ink illustrations for an edition of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

You ever have that thing where you see one image and imagine the entire series that would have surrounded it had it been a book and not a drawing for a fan at a show?

Imagine if you will a Man who make a deal with the Devil to save a soul, that same man who cursed to be bound to a spirit rides around on his motorcycle taking Vengeance on all the Devil's schemes on our Earth for the wrong that was done to him.

Imagine the pain in that man, then look at that picture and despair.

Stan is working overtime. Poor guy, his soul is going power Stan Lee for at least another month.

Surprised you mentioned Ron Bass,wait Jan Kruis died? You teenagers check him out. He did a Dutch family strip that lasted ages:Jan,Jans en der Kinderen(John,Jane and the Children.)

>>90845719

...Fuuuuck. Not another one.

>>90846208
Bit of both. He was initially going to do an entire adaptation of Frankenstein, but it was taking too long so he just released a version with the full text and some illustrations, released in 1983. There's a dark horse reprint the size of a Hellboy library edition and it's great.

Then there was going to be a 12 issue sequel miniseries, but it only got to issue 3 because of his declining health.
