The Unexpected #128 - Bernie Wrightson art

The Unexpected #128

The Unexpected v1 #128, 1971 - Of the five stories in this "bigger and better" issue, two are reprints from earlier decades within the same mystery genre. A miserly collector of antiques unexpectedly discovers a dimensional portal. Bernie Wrightson illustrates this tale in stunning detail. Like much of his early bronze age works, the characters' faces are ghoulishly distorted at times (an influence of Graham Ingels at EC Comics). Still, there is an overall dark sumptuousness to his panels that easily exceeds the rest of the book. Note that Wrightson playfully inserted his name on the painting's title plate on the last page. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Bob Brown, Frank Giacoia, Sid Greene. Cover by Nick Cardy.
