Bernie Wrightson - Unpublished Apparitions II
<B>Bernie Wrightson - Unpublished "Apparitions II" Portfolio Plate Illustration Original Art (1979).</B></I> Sal Q Productions had such a success with its first <B>Apparitions</B></I> portfolio in 1978, they commissioned Bernie Wrightson to create a second portfolio. Unfortunately, the project was scrapped, so this is the only plate slated for the second portfolio that was completed. This piece was created circa 1979, a peak time for Wrightson, and at a time during which "The Studio" was disbanded -- yet another factor in why this image never saw print. This huge scene is even more amazing when viewed in person -- it transports the viewer into the thick of battle on the tower steps. When a scene of sword-swinging savagery is called for, count on the modern master of fantasy art, Bernie Wrightson, to deliver a visual <I>coup de grace</B></I>. This mixed-media masterwork has an image area of 23" x 18", and the art is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Large (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
