T-Rex vs. Tank
I love these dinosaur war comics. I was going to post a bunch of them, but its late and I'm tired. Instead, I'm just going to post this one for now. A combination of factors, including the expression on the dinosaurs face and loving attention to detail in the rendering of the tank's gear wheels, just make this one of the most f*cked up comic covers I've seen in awhile. It's got some kind of insane quality to it.

The Wrightson Completionist: Part 5
This is the back page of the Alterna-Con Spring 1985 Convention program. It was at this con I first met Michael Kaluta and took this photo. This Wrightson drawing was on the back page of the program and needless to say I was disappointed when I learned Bernie was not going to be a guest at their fall convention. The drawing is obviously of Uncle Creepy and was probably intended as an inside front cover illustration for Creepy magazine. I don't recall this drawing being used for a Warren magazine and I've never seen it anywhere before. If anyone has seen this printed elsewhere please let me know.

Uncle Bill's Barrel

I recall reading somewhere that Carmine Infantino saw a set of negative photostats of this story which led to Bernie getting his first job at DC Comics. "Uncle Bill's Barrel" was a fine early effort by a then up and coming young artist already showing some of the trademark mannerisms and craftmanship that would make Wrightson's work so unique and captivating in the years to come.
