Bernie Wrightson(1948-2017)
- Writer
- Art Department
- Make-up Department
A comic book stylist noted for his horror illustrations,
Wrightson helped revamp the horror comic in the 1970s. He combined a
modern sensibility with a distinctive drafting ability rare to the
then-moribund industry, bridging the gap between the previous decade's
giddy optimism and the explosion of more sophisticated content ahead.
Among his career high points were co-creating the Swamp Thing character
for DC Comics and adapting classic horror tales for Warren
Publications. He later worked in Hollywood production design.
