House of Mystery #195 - Bernie Wrightson art & cover, Nestor Redondo art

Bernie Wrightson
House of Mystery v1 #195, 1971 - A graphically attractive cover by Bernie Wrightson begins the issue, looking much more recent than his work inside. His interior story tells of a dictator who plans to level an ancient, much-feared forest. It was clearly drawn a few years earlier, but Wrightson's fluid brushwork is impressive nonetheless. Nestor Redondo's tale chronicles an abusive drunkard and his suffering family. Set in the 1700s, the era seems perfectly suited to his romanticized style. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Ralph Reese and Mike Kaluta. This is 2 of 16 House of Mystery issues by Redondo and 10 of 28 House of Mystery issues by Wrightson. /// Redondo gallery / Wrightson gallery / original cover / original page

Wrightson drew this pre-Swamp Thing creature story in 1968, as you can see from his signature on the closing page (with his old, Frazetta-inspired signature).
