These 4-6 print sets, many from the early 1980’s, have always held a fascination for me, and while most of those in my collection are visually striking, Bernie Wrightson’s Frankenstein Portfolio from 1980 is easily the most beautiful. Over the years I’ve amassed a large collection of Portfolios by comic book artists, some of which I’ve already posted on this site. ![]()
