I will probably always remember Wrightson for an incredibly gross story he did for Epic Illustrated called "The Potty's Over," which I read at the tender age of 14. You can read it here.

He could do a good job balancing horror and humor in the same story. Sometimes, it's like Davis pencils with Ingels inks.

The Potty's Over was great - this is the first time I've read this. Truly disgusting, with great BW art. Thanks for the post/link. Big fan of BW ever since I was a kid. His work on the original Swamp Thing & his illustrated Frankenstein were iconic & classic. And, now that Halloween is coming up, BW's incredible horror story Jenifer comes to mind. I remember the first time I read this was as a kid in the '80's - it was the reprinted color version in Pacific comics (not the original b&w version). This is unquestionably the most terrifying horror comic story I've ever read. Truly grotesque & disturbing, and I mean that as a compliment Here's a link to the comic: www.besthorrorcomics.com/pdf/Jenifer.pdf

Just picked up this Wrightson print in the September auction over at Lonestar. It should be arriving midweek or so, just in time to add a little Halloween flavor to the office decor. ![](http://d1466nnw0ex81e.cloudfront.net/n_ii/600/3592526.jpg) "Werewolf" -M

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't heard. Best wishes to Mr. Wrightson. Here's an image of his that never fails to floor me (use the scroll bar at the bottom of this post) ![](http://www.jlroberson.org/scansdaily/bernifrank2.jpg) That's one of the most impressive pieces of art I've ever seen in comic book format. Always blows me away.

Today would have been Bernie Wrightson's birthday (appropriate a horror master was born so close to Halloween), and lots of folks are remembering Bernie on social media today, so let's offer up a toast to Bernie here too... ![](https://i.imgur.com/WeK1Md5.jpg) -M

Amazing artist! It was a genuine shock when I'd heard he'd passed. I loved the non-horror bits he would do sometimes, and not just Batman or The Shadow... Captain Sternn was great fun! ![](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/10/7f/4b/107f4baeb48db499ba140b96903f6c77.jpg)

This thread was before my time here. However, in honor of Berni, I'm posting my all-time favorite Wrightson cover... just in time for Halloween, too. ![](https://i.imgur.com/ZdtDDS5.jpg?1)
