When you think of the modern horror comic, Berni Wrightson immediately comes to mind! He's well known for his numerous stories and illustrations for 70's DC horror comics, and probably his best-loved work in the field of comic books is his brilliant ten issue run of Swamp Thing. He's also illustrated Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and his artwork on that book is often considered his most powerful and beautiful work to date. It stands as a great artistic statement by one of modern comics' greatest artists. He drew on influences such as Graham "Ghastly" Ingels, Frank Frazetta, Franklin Booth, Roy Krenkel, Everett Raymond Kinstler, and many others to become one of comics' most respected artists.
