House of Secrets #106 - Bernie Wrightson art & cover, Alex Nino art

Bernie Wrightson

House of Secrets v1 #106, 1973 - The rescue of a lost seaman prompts a journalist to search for his claim of a vampire-infested island. Alex Nino does a splendid panel of a raging storm at sea (see interior page below). From there, his artwork somewhat deteriorates due to overly distorted faces. By contrast, Bernie Wrightson's cover is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is horrific. Spindly branches fill the layout, heightening tension in an already frightening scene. Shadows are cast menacingly across the woman's back, completing one of the artist's best bronze age covers. Wrightson's single intro page combines humor and horror. Other artists in this comic include Ruben Yandoc and Alfredo Alcala. This is 3 of 11 House of Secrets issues by Nino and 9 of 11 House of Secrets issues by Wrightson. /// Nino gallery / Wrightson gallery
