After a conference with another DC editor, Infantino suggested Wrightson work on mystery fillers for Joe Orlando. The stories below are some of these fillers. According to Bernie "The only thing I can say about them was the jobs kept me alive."
Nevertheless, this early stories must have been a learning experience for the young comic book artist. Later on, under the editorship of Joe Orlando, Bernie would produce more polished stories for DC's House of Mystery and House of Secrets titles. His work at DC culminated in some finely rendered covers for DC's horror titles and his classic run on Swamp Thing in 1972-1974.
"The Hound of Night!" The Unexpected #121. October, 1970.
"The Man Who Murdered Himself!" House of Mystery #179. March, 1969.
