Wrightson House of Secrets Cover

Here's a scan of Bernie Wrightson's original wraparound cover for DC's House of Secrets comic. In his NYCA Gallery Catalog, Wrightson says when he brought it into the office he was informed "They weren't doing wraparounds anymore." You can see the cropped version they ended up publishing below.
