I remember being in Bernie Wrightson's studio as a kid and seeing these pages on his drawing board... True story!
2:34 - Those are two of my favorite ballpen drawings of Jim. The slightly unphased red and blue lineart is amazing; very hard to think of when it becomes more noticeable in the foreground. Second, that deer with a shotgun. The autumnal colors are just beautiful and serene. So creepy when thinking about a deer stalking some hunters! (and no less awesome because of that).
Wow, what a fun book with gorgeous art! Loved that octopus hat gag.
This is one of my all time favorite comics, it has a perfect blend of comedy, creatures, action, skillful art. The writing may be aimed at younger readers but to me its just such a crystalization of everything superhero comics should be
9:09 that bent metal is in the shape of hulk and thing in the negative space LOLLL
Never seen this one! Looks great. You guys have become a part of my morning ritual before I start drawing for the day.
Yo Ed I laughed out loud so hard at the epipen watcher joke! 🤣
Cool video! Proud to say that I've had this in my collection since it was published and fortunate to have met Mr. Wrightson and get it signed. Adding your breakdown commentary is such an added bonus. Ed pointing out the vagina faced alien & Jim coloring the stalacite properly was f'ing hilarious and had me laughing out loud. I will never look at this quite the same. Please look at Batman Cult as mentioned, thanks fellas
If you guys are still looking for examples of the same story drawn by the same artist at different times, I may have found a good one! I recently picked up the "Not Brand Echh" complete collection and was thumbing through it. Issue No. 7 has an origin story "The Origin of the Fantastical Four" which is a re-telling of the story from Fantastic Four #1 and is written by Stan Lee and drawn by Kirby! It's not quite a panel-by-panel re-draw, but it does follow the original story fairly closely. Fascinating stuff!
The whole collection is really interesting, with art by Kirby, Gene Colan and Marie Severin among others. And there are a ton of pop culture references, including their versions of many DC characters, new lyrics to songs from West Side Story and Sgt. Pepper's and re-worked album covers like "Sgt. Fury's Lonely Hearts Club Band" and "Big Benjy & the Clobbering Co.'s 'Cheap Shrills" (a re-working of the original album cover by Robert Crumb!)
Man, what a fun video this is. Great comic, really enjoyed the funny, goofy story and your commentary was a riot. Had no idea this existed. Gonna be on the lookout for this.
One of my faves in a while.
This is a fun graphic novel. I had the chance to get mine signed by Bernie Wrightson not long after it came out. I hope to add Starlin's signature one day. I would love fo Marvel to come out with a collection of all the Hulk/Thing fights.
That would make a great compilation.
Agreed! In a nice oversized format!
I haven't read that comic in years so this is a nice reminder. I wonder if Taika Waititi used this as reference for Thor Ragnarok? The scene of the characters trying to blend in is very reminiscent.
You're gonna have to look at the Doom and Dr Strange team up graphic novel too.
Man, I'd forgotten this is in my collection. Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks guys. Nobody else is out here talking about process details like the colored pencils on the teleportation effects. Always inspiring and informative.
I love this comic! I have 3 copies and a Brazilian version! I wish we had more of Wrightson's Thing and Hulk stuff!
Man I love this channel because I find things like this. Great art!
The kooky end was such star of the story. A great purchase at the time. BW was a man who had honed skills and abilities. Thank you.
6:31 - Also, I believe the odd choice of composition in that page has to do with the delivery of the next splash page. Which is so good thinking about a small panel becoming a splash page becoming a double splash when turning the last page. That white "energy" curve helps selling the movement of the characters.
Can’t believe I missed this review! I’m stooooked
how did i miss this originally, two of my favourite artists??? i love you guys but sometimes you make me feel stooopid and ashamed of myself. off to ebay i guess. cheers for the steers again!
Since you bring it up, I'd like to see some coverage of the Wrightson Swamp Thing. Prime Wrightson art , and as a total visual package it was a really well-crafted book; there seemed to be some real thought behind the logo, lettering and word balloon design. If you have the Artist Edition, that'd be cool too.
Just read this in prep for Steve Skroce's Clobberin' Time after someone mentioned it in the group. I F'in loved it. So funny and wonderful art. I just found Spider-man:Kooky a couple of months ago, loved that too
Loved this novel as a kid.
Towards the end I was getting Neal Adams vibes, never actually seen this comic before tho, thanks guys another great video
"Where did you find this as a kid when it came out?" Answer: the mall. Marvel Graphic Novels were sold at Waldenbooks and B. Dalton's. They never ran out of copies of The Futurians.
How much do you want to see Wes Anderson's film adaptation of this? I'm pre-ordering now.
“Color those stalactites right!” 🤣
Quem desenhava o Motoqueiro Fantasma, naquela época? (Não tenho mais o Gibi)
I have this one!!! I remember loving it as a kid...🤓
Oooooooweeeeeee a true master! Looking forward to RED ROOM!
cool video!!! Im a huge Wrightson fan (RIP) and a Hitchcock reference?! oh fuck yeah! cheers, fellas!!!!
Got this when is was a young teenager, mid eighties. Through some other weird coincidence I got warlock later - very young. Took me years to understand it was the same author, hahaha. Here, Starlin is really funny, while his warlock is sublime.
Correction: got the graphic novel later than warlock, still made no connection, lol.
I'd love to do a monster book like this.
Hulk vs. Thing = Undertaker vs. Kane rivalry.
Why do you keep saying his art is 'weird'? There's nothing weird about it. I've this comic since it first came out and I love it. Wrightson is one of my favorite Hulk and Thing drawers. And calling it 'fanzine' is just insulting.
If you think about it, the story has some similarities with the Thor:Ragnarok movie. Also, I'd be down for a video solely on Jim's ballpoint renderings.
i still have my copy
❤️❤️❤️ Wrightson 🥰
Yoooooo let’s go!!
I've got this one!!!!
Visually stunning indeed except for those 2 different renditions of a Wrightson Watcher - those are the worst illustrations of a Watcher that I have ever seen - still, in the end, the Kayfabe effect has got me and I am now actively looking to buy this book. Thanks again guys.
that's just how people drew the watcher back then, he looked some random bald fat guy. Was it Byrne who turned him into the skinny guy with the big head?
BW's is the truth
I always felt like Thor Ragnarok took a lot from the spirit of this book.
Do Concrete (please)
