Eleven: I expected the prose to be good but, having never read Shelley before, I was still surprised by how exceptional and ear-pleasing it was. Her writing really resonated with me and I loved her ability to weave emotion, plot momentum and a high literary quotient seamlessly together. Good, good stuff.

So please forgive the random thoughts.

During a 2016 tour of his extensive library of art and pop culture memorabilia, Del Toro named Wrightson's Frankenstein as the work whose original artwork was the hardest to find, saying, "They are very rare. The people that have them don't let them go. It's taken me years to get that. I have nine out of the 13 favorite plates of the Frankenstein book that Bernie Wrightson ever did. The other four: one of them, no one knows where it is, and the other three are, I would say, very hard to pry away from the people that have them." [11] Awards [ edit ] Wrightson was co-recipient of the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award for 1986, along with Jim Starlin, for his work on Heroes for Hope. [50] The following year, Wrightson received an Inkpot Award. [51] a b Cooke, Jon B. (Summer 1999). "Like a Bat Out of Hell Chatting with Bernie Wrightson, DC's Monster Maker". Comic Book Artist.

The Romantic myth of the individual was selfish nonsense, and in Frankenstein, Shelley let everyone know. In his pursuit to understand electricity and gain mastery over human life, Victor cuts himself off from others to create the Creature, then refuses to fulfill a parental role for the Creature, all leading to his destruction. Walton, likewise, abandons society and risks the lives of his crew to search for Paradise. To put all of this another way: progress, creation, and scientific advancement mean nothing without compassion and community. Then again, maybe Wrightson’s final Frankenstein illustration, of the Creature standing alone on an ice floe “borne away by the waves and lost in darkness and distance” says as much all on its own.

I would do the drawings in between paying gigs, when I had enough to be caught up with bills and groceries and what-not. I would take three days here, a week there, to work on the Frankenstein volume. It took about seven years.

Como cuenta el mismísimo Stephen King en el prólogo de esta edición, el gran protagonista de este Frankenstein, es el arte de Bernie Wrightsonen esta obra. Algo con lo que estamos muy de acuerdo. El autor que cocreó a la cosa del pantano, produjo este Frankenstein con una clara inspiración enla criatura que encarno en el cine Boris Karloff. Estamos seguramente ante una de sus obras más impresionantes y eso en la longeva carrera de malogrado ilustrador es mucho decir. El trabajo que realizó en este proyecto llevo a Wrightson varios años, para finalizar las más de 40 láminas que componen esta impresionante adaptación de la novela de Mary Shelley.

Third: My heart shattered for the “monster” and I haven’t felt this strong a desire to “hug it out, bitch” since reading Grendel and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter. The “wretch” is so well drawn and powerfully portrayed that he form the emotional ligament for the entire story. He is among the finest creations the written form has to offer.
