Meet Bernie Wrightson

Bernie Wrightson has been working as a professional illustrator for nearly thirty years, beginning as an editorial cartoonist for the Baltimore Sun. Since then his work has appeared in books, magazines, and motion pictures. He is the co-creator of the comic book character Swamp Thing, and has illustrated several works by Stephen King, including The Stand, Creepshow and The Cycle of the Werewolf. He has also designed creatures for several movies, most notably Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. But Wrightson may be best know for his opus, the Frankenstein illustrations, universally regarded as the most compelling visualization of the Mary Shelly novel.
