Black and White Wednesday: "Nightfall" by Bill DuBay and Bernie Wrightson
Greetings, Groove-ophiles! How's this for a quick post? A classic from Creepy #91 (cover dated August 1977). Story by Bill DuBay, art by Bernie Wrightson, here's..."Nightfall"!
Actually, this first appeared in EERIE #60 in 1975. Wrightson also painted the back cover which was related to the story (a wink at Winsor McCay's "Little Nemo in Slumberland" strip of the early 20th century newspapers).
Special thanks to Mike's Amazing World of Comics and Grand Comics Database for being such fantastic resources for covers, dates, creator info, etc. Thou art treasures true!

As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
Love me some old Bernie!
ReplyDeleteBernie's Warren work may be my favorite period of his. Peak performance by a true master!
ReplyDeleteEven his frontispieces were masterpieces.
