Foreal. Truly a man ahead of his time with that technique!!!

Love Bernie Wrightson! Very thankful to have stumbled on to this interview!

Love Bernie! So curious to see his demeanor here as opposed to the Frankenstein interview when he was young. The mask that we all wear will be lowered as we age and get wiser. His artwork on Frankenstein is a never ending inspiration and fascination for me. RIP MASTER

R.I.P. Bernie Wrightson. Along with the late Neal Adams and the late George Perez, he was undoubtedly one of the architects of the Bronze Age. May all.of three of them continue to rest in peace.

Kids getting an original Bernie Wrightson...goodness knows where it ended up...criminal behavior to be keeping it...comic strip syndicates did the same until the early 80's...unbelievable..

As did the early record companies ; artists recorded hit songs but received very little if anything in compensation. The producers; distributors; made lots of money 💰 🤑 💸! That was legal about 50+ years ago, though ; I think 🤔 it's changed now to where the recording artists make money 💰 🤑 💸 now, too !

Brilliant work. I became a Wrightson fan in the 60s. Such a tragedy that early work was given away, stolen or burned. I saw pain in Bernie's face as he reflected back. Sad that he's gone. really.

Damn shame, ain't it? It's a low down dirty crying shame DC and Marvel both gave away original comic art (measuring 11" x 17" at that time) to clueless schoolchildren as souvenirs during the fifties, sixties, and seventies...it breaks my heart to see classic, priceless artwork from industry legends such as Wrightson, Adams, Kirby, Ditko, Kubert, Buscema, Romita, Toth, Steranko, Perez, Byrne, Simonson, Gil Kane, Jim Aparo, Curt Swan, and Marshall Rogers end up plastered on bedroom walls unframed like pinups.

Actually, it was the late Neal Adams, who fought for the rights of Comicbook Artists to retain the original rights to their artwork! He also fought for and got decent pensions for the legendary creators of DC Comics # 1 Superhero, Superman ! From what I remember, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster were both long since retired and were living in utter squalor. This struggle culminated in their getting screen credit and better healthcare; the movie studios were making Millions off their creation at the time !

Mr Wrightson Rest In Peace you did work that it will be remembered and inspirational

What a artist

Love this interview. Thank you for posting it.

Detective Comics 425. One of the best covers ever.

I couldn't agree with you more, bro! And Wrightson's inks over Neal Adams' pencils on the covers of both Batman #241 (cover-dated May 1972) and Limited Collector's Edition #C-59 (cover-dated July 1978) aren't half bad, either! May they both continue to rest in peace!

Thank you for sharing this footage 🙏🏾

This was SO beautifully filmed! The colors & focals were just amazing.

Great interview, Wrightson is one of the best comic artists ever, his legacy lives on

Such a shame that a lot of artists back then didn’t value there work and fight to keep it, also Bernie always priced his stuff low so he ended up destitute when he passed away

R.I.P. Bernie.

RIP Bernie you were the best

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this.

Legend.

Him, Franklin Booth, and Virgil Finlay. No one else comes close.

Wrightson looks a little like a slightly older Travis Bickle from certain angles

I always thought he resembled a gloomier Tommy Lee Jones.

Time to get a kickstarter going for a proper BW biographical documentary... ;-)

one of an elite handful of guys that could follow a neal adams run and still make you go- oh my god. criminally underrated...

What happened to the audio about 10 minutes in?

Thanks for sharing. Where the sound go at the end ?

Did the sound drop out for everyone else around the 3/4ths mark? Roughly 9:40

Absolutely. Wrightson was always an intricate draftsman, particularly on his Swamp Thing issues and, of course, his Frankenstein artwork. May he continue to rest in peace.

Sound drops out about 9:40.
