Berni Wrightson Unpublished: The Monster Jar



You figured out who was up next, right? I barely need any prompting to go on about the greatness of The Studio ( the book and the artists ), so after that mighty Windsor-Smith drop last week, well, we have to do them all, don't we?
Web Of Horror was a short-lived ( 3 issues and gone ) anthology mag hoping for a piece of Warren's action, that featured in it's tiny run Jeff Jones, Bruce Jones, Mike Kaluta, Ralph Reese, Midnight Tales' Wayne Howard & Frank Brunner. And of course, the still-can't-believe-he's-gone Berni Wrightson.
The story of what happened to Web Of Horror is a long and involved, but interesting one, and I recommend an interview Berni did for the Comics Journal for those who want to find out more about this early period of his career ( It's on their site now ).
Meanwhile, here's a beautiful piece I found on Heritage Auctions that he did for the never published fourth issue. Pull up a coffin, fellow fiends.
