“A Torrent of Light Into Our Dark World” by Bernie Wrightson This is a special one, folks. This stunningly beautiful image was created over 30 years ago, but never actually included in the final publication of Bernie Wrightson’s illustrated version of Marry Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Sal from Do the Right Thing says- “Extra Cheese costs two dollars…and…
