Comix Reading List #69-#70: Bernie Wrightson on Marvel Unlimited

69. MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL 22: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN IN HOOKY (Marvel, April 1986) Marvel Unlimited

Bernie Wrightson delivers page after page of complex and horrific creatures to battle Spider-Man in this great bit of atypical 80s comics greatness. This would look great in a hardcover tabloid-sized reissue!

Detail from Wrightson's gruesome interior art.

Author Susan Putney also published half of an ACE Double, AGAINST ARCTURUS (1972) according to isfdb.org.

70. MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL: THE INCREDIBLE HULK AND THE THING IN THE BIG CHANGE (Marvel, 1987) Marvel Unlimited

This one is a more typical, humorous science fiction superhero team-up tale. Wrightson's art is still way above average, but not as inspired as HOOKY.

(There’s also a four issue PUNISHER miniseries on Marvel Unlimited, but it's only penciled by Wrightson.)

If you want to see some true horror by Bernie Wrightson published by Marvel, Ray Carcases does a video of Wrightson's story in EPIC ILLUSTRATED #25 (at the 17:15 mark). This one scarred me for life at 14!
