The Unexpected #121 - Bernie Wrightson art, Neal Adams cover

Neal Adams

The Unexpected v1 #121, 1970 - As prolific a cover artist as Neal Adams was in the 1970s, this particular example falls short. He struggles with the layout and the drawing seems altogether rushed. On the other hand, Bernie Wrightson's story is more successful, despite being a single page (see interior page below). Softly applied brushstrokes add depth to the characters and setting. His craftsmanship even applies to the unassuming objects in the first panel. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Dick Dillin, John Calnan, Vince Colletta and Jerry Grandenetti. This is 8 of 9 Unexpected issues by Adams and 3 of 4 Unexpected issues by Wrightson.
