Hello Nakatomi Peoples!

Happy Spooky Season, everyone! October is not just Halloween, but also the birth month of Mr. Wrightson, 78 years ago this month. We miss you, Bernie!

We are very excited to share our newest releases in the Bernie Wrightson Frankenstein Artist Edition series, “First Day” and “Utter Exhaustion” available HERE in the Nakatomi store for the very first time.

Originally drawn in the late 70’s early 80’s, Bernie’s Frankenstein illustrations were (and remain) at the height of fantasy pen-and-ink illustrations. Highly regarded, often imitated, but never surpassed. Wrightson’s work here is a triumph.

“First Day” measures 18×12″ & is hand-numbered & embossed in an edition of 300.

“First Day“ is an oddity in the Frankenstein suite, as it’s not included in the normal sequence of the published edition, but created as an end-paper illlustration that opens the book. Presented at it’s drawn size of 18 x 12″ in a hand-numbered and embossed edition of 300. $50, limit two per household.
Available HERE.

“Utter Exhaustion” measures 16×20″ & is hand-numbered & embossed in an edition of 300.
