Description

#247 of 300 hardcover copies signed on an extra-illustrated plate by Wrightson, Harlan Ellison (introduction), & Zavisa, clothbound in a matching cloth-covered, velvet-lined clamshell box.

A thorough retrospective of Wrightson's work through 1979 concluding with his illustration of Frankenstein. Including many rare and previously unpublished pieces.

Chapters on: Early Works; DC Comics; Swamp Thing; Purple Pictography; The Monsters Color-the-Creature Book (reprinted in its entirety including Wrightson's hand-painted versions); Warren magazine work; Christopher Enterprises posters and portfolios (never collected outside of these pages); Frankenstein; and The Studio.

This is the Underwood-Miller reprinting from 1991 after the original 1979 Land of Enchantment printing. I cannot see any difference in printing quality between the two editions. Underwood-Miller produced a paperback version, a hardcover version numbered #1-700, and this deluxe version signed & numbered #1-300.
