I picked this up recently and have no clue what it is. Never seen one before. It looks to be #30 of 40? as it has 30/40 on splash page. From 1977 entirely in French it is a little larger than treasury sized. Title is Futuropolis I think. I also have one for Robert Crumb from 1982 I think but this is a Bernie thread so....

 

Any info would be nice, especially as to value.

The title is Wrightson, the publisher is Futuropolis, the 30/40 is the format size of the book.

I have a few of these buried away somewhere, though not this one

Thanks for the info! Anyone have any idea as to value?

Started scanning some of my esoteric items including some older convention program books. Thought I would bump this thread because of the couple of Wrightson interior pages. Also included the covers and some other artists in this one. It is from the 1973 Metro Con.

It was wonderful to see you post the Metro Con program, as this was the earliest piece I'd acquired for quite a while, and still one of Bernie's earliest Werewolf style drawings I've seen to date:

 

 

I may go back and reframe this at some point, but for my part it looks great as it is!

This is awesome!

This is just totally cool!

Fantastic... I've seen a couple of these panels before, and of course the story, but this is a first for this particular panel...

 

Very cool...

I want to see the Zombie Bunny!

I posted this over in the Original Comic Art forum, so apologies in advance if you've seen it already, but I thought you'd like to see this Wrightson painting which I purchased at the most recent ComicLink auction:

 

 

It was apparently commissioned in connection with the production of the movie ultimately titled Dagon, which in turn is based on the H.P. Lovecraft story "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".

 

Enjoy!

 

I was in there bidding on this too! Congratulations

I gave this away as a gift

But well worth it as a thank you for what i got in return

For those who appreciate Wrightson's work, I just added this into my collection and couldn't be happier... I'd always wanted a lab scene, and this coupled with Dr. Ingels and Frankenstein's expression, well this sure fit the bill for me!!!

 

Bernie also kindly signed it in the art for me so I can frame and preserve it appropriately.

 

It's just too cool...
