Legendary comics artist Bernie Wrightson, co-creator (with Len Wein) of DC Comics' Swamp Thing, passed away Saturday, March 18, at the age of 68 after a long battle with brain cancer. Wrightson was known for his distinctive and moody art-style which was also showcased in his illustrations for the Marvel Books edition of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein (reprinted by and currently available through Dark Horse Comics).

I'm not familiar with Mr. Wrightson, but I'm sorry that someone who means something to you has passed, and at a relatively young age.
Brain cancer sucks. 
~Sometimes you have a problem, the kind you can't erase,
sometimes it jumps up and slaps you in the face.
Don't run around in circles, don't scream and don't shout,
just put your head together and figure it out.
Figure it out, baby, figure it out.
Figure it out, baby, figure it out!~

What particularly struck me about Wrightson's Frankenstein illustrations was how he captured the look of woodblock reproduction just using pen and ink (and very detailed cross-hatching).

I don't know that Wrightson had ever produced any Tolkien-related art. His early work was heavily influenced by Frank Frazetta.
