Stephen, the only mainstream superhero comic titles that I buy these days are Justice League,
which I'm gonna be dropping real soon, on account of it being really shit ( if I wanted to read about the Teen Titans, I'd buy Teen Titans ), and Justice Society,
which I'm gonna be dropping because they've split it into two books, which just plain old sucks.
I buy Criminal
when it's out, but, other than that, Marvel can kiss my arse.
I'm currently getting the Paul Salamoff/Daniel Gete Logan's Run: Last Day series,
but I'm not planning on picking up any of the sequels, and, just between you & me, I'm also buying David Lapham and Javier Barreno's Crossed: Family Values
( but if you tell anyone, I'm only going to deny it ).
Every now and then - not very often - something comes along that helps me remember why I love comics, & right now that thing is Charles Burns' X'ed Out.
My favourite comic artist is Gil Kane.
My favourite comic writer is Steve Gerber.
My favourite superhero is Batman.
My favourite superheroine is Black Canary.
My favourite supervillain is The Joker.
Though none of these choices are inclusive of their current incarnations.
Ok? Cheers, then.
And here's some old-school Berni Wrightson cool-ness, from Creepy # 62.

My fiancée once took me to a house in which Poe had lived in Philadelphia. It is rather small, and there isn't much in it. (The furnishings that Poe would have used would have been dispersed or destroyed before much if any thought would have been given to making a museum of any of his former resdiences as such.) But one definitely saw how the cellar could have inspired the idea of concealing a body in something such as a false chimney.
cool. I've never had a cellar. ever. or an attic. which is not at all cool.
Thank you for the Berni Wrighson stuff! The only BW story published in France is Frankesntein :(
my pleasure, Jerom.
Where did ypou find the ane piece? 've never seen it. e's my favorite as well, and sorely missed!!
L'ECHO DE SAVANES has a lot of old Wrightson stories from the early '70s in it (published in France in the early '80s). Also, SWAMP THING was reprinted as LE MONSTRE DE MARAIS, or a similar title, in France.
As for "The Black Cat" Wrightson drew it in January, 1974. It was his first solo story for Warren Publications after he quit SWAMP THING for DC. Wrightson shares in A LOOK BACK (his bio) that he was mugged in Manhattan when he was on his way to Warren's offices. Fortunately the muggers were not interested in his original art for "The Black Cat", only in cold cash, so Wrightson and his pages were unharmed.
