Actually, while I liked some of them, I was a tad disappointed by the
illos in CYCLE (the black & white ones are nice, but the color ones are
a bit too garish. If you want to see some *outstanding* illustrations by
Wrightson, pick up a copy of the edition of Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN
from Dodd, Mead (and in 8-1/2X11 trade paperback from Marvel Comics ---
but it's *not* a comic book) that he illustrated. The man continues to
amaze me with his talent.
