I love when people do Kickstarters and get way more than they need.

From his FB page:
"Dear Fans and Friends,
I apologize for our silence for the past few months. Last November Bernie began falling again, and having obvious problems with perception. He had to undergo yet another brain surgery to relieve bleeding, and then spend several weeks undergoing in-patient rehabilitation. Unfortunately, it appears that he has lasting damage: he has extremely limited function on his left side, and is unable to walk or reliably use his left hand, among other limitations.
We have had to come to the sad conclusion that he is now effectively retired: he will produce no new art, and he is unable to attend conventions. Should this situation change I will happily announce it here.
He can still sign his name (in fact he was signing Kickstarter prints in the hospital!), and is otherwise pretty healthy and has good cognition. We expect to continue releasing signed prints, and offering occasional pieces of art for sale from the collection that remains. We both thank all of you for your continuing support and good wishes!
All our best,
Liz and Bernie Wrightson"Rock! Shock! Pop!Comment

So for anyone even remotely interested, that Artist's Edition book is a fuggen beauty. Someone spent too much money on it for me for Christmas, it's huge - and it's stunning. The reproductions of Wrightson's penciling is stunning.Rock! Shock! Pop!Comment

I didn't even realize he did something for the Aliens comics. I have to re-read Aliens Omnibus #5 now. He also did Batman VS Aliens which was dog shit but had some neat variant covers.Originally posted by Ian Jane View Post"Ah! By god's balls what licentiousness!"

Yeah, if I remember correctly his Aliens story was serialized in Dark Horse Presents.
Agreed that Batman Vs. Aliens wasn't very good, at least not storywise. If the art isn't Bernie's best it's still pretty solid.Rock! Shock! Pop!Comment

It did lead to this:
It was drawn by Dave Dorman instead of Bernie though."Ah! By god's balls what licentiousness!"

Dave Dorman is also a rad artist and should get his own thread.Rock! Shock! Pop!Comment
