6/10/2023 0 Comments Berni wrightson a look back![]() ![]() Really it was a huge inspirational artifact at the time (as everything the guys from The Studio did) The Shadow, Poe, book covers, Creepy… I must have read this book 1.000 times when I got it. We have samples of comic book suff, fanzine, illustration, portfolios, film design and collaborations with other authors (like Kaluta or Jeffrey Jones). The book, written by Wrightson´s friend Christopher Zavisa contains both black and white and color artwork, and also lots of very interesting texts, lots of candid words from Bernie himself giving us details of his life and growth as an artists and his career. ![]() The books take a look at the first years in Wrightson´s career, from the 60´s till the end of the 70´s and you can find from very very early work (when Berne was a kid) to his latest stuff (at that time) like his work for Frankenstein or The Studio. This is something like and illustrated biography of the man, and as such we can see Bernie grow as a person and as an artist in each of the book´s chapters.Ī Look Back s a book originally published in 1979 and later republished I believe two more times (last time in 1991, the edition that I have). I believe Bernie must be tired of being called The Master of the Macabre (though no doubt he really is) and this book won´t do much to remove that tag. Wrightson already appeared around here when I talked about The Studio. ![]()
