House of Mystery #255 - Bernie Wrightson cover, Alex Nino art

Bernie Wrightson

House of Mystery v1 #255, 1977 - Bernie Wrightson's cover has a style that suggests it was done years earlier than the publication date. The color palette is a bit loud but the overall brushwork is excellent. Inside, Alex Nino illustrates a tale of a homely heiress, her duplicitous finacee and her age-old secret. The opening panel is roughly drawn and oddly proportioned, but subsequent pages are skillful and well composed. The final page, with its shocking revelation, is the story's high point. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Ric Estrada, Wayne Howard, Frank Redondo, Gray Morrow and Bill Draut. This is 27 of 28 House of Mystery issues by Wrightson and 12 of 14 House of Mystery issues by Nino. /// Nino gallery / Wrightson gallery
