Yes sir, Wrightson did the entire story per Shelley's novel.
This wiki breakdown seems accurate:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Wrightson%27s_FrankensteinThe man is a genius and often referred to as the greatest horror artist of all time.
I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Bernie at his Catskill Mtn. studio in the fall of 1985. He was working on
Spider-man Hooky, a Marvel graphic novel and gave me a look at that amazing work in progress while he went through my own portfolio. It was an incredible afternoon. Afterwards, he graciously autographed my Swamp Thing collection and then, he pulled out a poster for Frankenstein and autographed it for me also. It was a cardboard piece that stood on its own and he leaned it against the wall next to the door. Starstruck dumb-ass that I was forgot to grab it when I left at the end of the day.
As I was preparing to start my car, Bernie invited me to his upcoming Halloween party which he was throwing a few weeks later. It was gonna be a star-studded event held right there in his Victorian-style home in the woods just north of Woodstock. I forget many of the art and motion picture celebs he mentioned would be there except one -- Stephen King (and his band would be providing the music). I was completely taken aback and told him that my then-wife was pregnant with a due date at the end of October. If she didn't have the baby by party time, I'd come down from the Adirondacks for the event. As it happened, my son was born Oct. 28 and I was just too involved to leave home.
It has haunted me to this day as to whatever happened to that poster he signed for me. I wasn't ballsy enough to call him and ask for it, so I just consigned it to the dust heaps of my own memory. When I saw this one come up for auction, I considered it a consolation prize of sorts and jumped on it. I don't think it was the same art, but its close enough for me!
