I wish they'd reprint the HULK/THING GN as well. That's hard to find right now.

Hate that I couldn't find the b&w panel of BW's adaptation of Poe's Black Cat (much clearer) original, but you get the idea. It is what it is. And it is (was) a superb panel!

This might be the most amazing illustration related to Frankenstein ever made.

Wrightson was hospitalized for a 'series of small strokes' according to CBR.

"Famed horror artist Bernie Wrightson has been hospitalized following a series of small strokes. First reported via Facebook by Wrightson's longtime friend and "Frankenstein Alive, Alive!" creative partner Steve Niles, Wrightson is currently undergoing tests, and his cognition is good -- Niles said he and Wrightson were "joking around and goofing off and annoying the nurse.""
