Bernie Wrightson and Mike Kaluta - Frankenstein
<B>Bernie Wrightson and Mike Kaluta - Frankenstein Illustration Original Art (circa 1980s-2005).</B></I> Bernie Wrightson's life-long fascination with the Frankenstein story has been a constant source of inspiration for the artist. Wrightson commented in Christopher Zavisa's book, <B>Berni Wrightson: A Look Back</B></I>, "Ever since I first started working professionally I drew the monster into various things. You can find him in just about everything from fanzines to <B>Swamp Thing</B></I>. It seems as though my whole career up to this point has been in preparation for an illustration of the novel." In 1974, the collaboration of Bernie Wrightson and Mike Kaluta in DC Comics' <B>The Shadow</B></I> #3 resulted in an incredible story, "The Kingdom of the Cobra." Pages from this thriller are highly sought-after by fans. This piece reunites the talents of these two greats -- Bernie Wrightson penciled this scene in the 1980s and Mike Kaluta inked it in 2005. Kaluta did not miss a fine line in this drawing -- his detailed inking is magical. The illustration has an image area of 11" x 16", and the art is in Excellent condition. This finished work is a masterpiece and it is sure to be a standout in any collection! <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
