He made his name working on the DC "mystery" books of the 70s, although I
don't know offhand which ones (out of House of Mystery, House of Secrets,
Ghosts, etc.). I believe he also did some Swamp Thing.
>Mark Schultz,
Xenozoic Tales aka Cadillacs & Dinosaurs. Recently has been doing some
Superman writing -- check those titles.
>and William Stout
No idea.
You might have better luck asking in rac.misc, as well.

Wrightson is best known for co-creating the Swamp Thing, and drawing the
first ten issues of the original Swamp Thing series. Great stuff. Don't
know what he's done lately, if anything.

> Bernie Wrightson,
Artist best known for his work in the horror genre--he did the "Ghosts"
annual covers, the art for the Marvel Knights Punisher mini, and is listed
(with Len Wein) as a co-creator of Swamp Thing. When you think Wrightson,
think creepy-looking people with heavely modeled, shadowy features and bushy
eyebrows.
> Mark Schultz,
He's one of the new Superman writers, who started work on the titles with
the Dominus/KoTW arcs (on Man of Steel, was it? Or is that the title he's
inheriting in a few months?) I'm not sure of his pre-DC accomplishments,
but I was relatively pleased by the issues of his I read (although not
enough to outdo my inherent distaste for the absolute use of the Trangle
System)
> and William Stout
Dunno. You stumped me.

Early this year, Previews solicited a collaboration between Wrightson and
Joseph Monks (of Chanting Monks) on a story called /The Coven/, which was to
be released on diskette in PDF files. I don't recall whether it was
released or not. At the time, they also mentioned plans for a CD-ROM
retrospective on Wrightson's career. He also contributed to an issue of
/Fanboy/ (published by DC).
In addition to taking over /Superman: Man of Steel/ on an ongoing basis,
Mark Schultz wrote some of the Superman books for DC's /One Million/ event.
He wrote a mini-series /SubHuman/ published by Dark Horse about a year ago,
and short piece for Kitchen Sink's /The Spirit: The New Adventures/ series.

> Bernie Wrightson,
Wrightson is one of the pre-eminent horror comics artists of all
time. He started working in the 60's for black-&-white comics
magazines like WEB OF HORROR, graduated to doing a ton of work
for both Warren (CREEPY and EERIE) and DC (HOUSE OF MYSTERY,
HOUSE OF SECRETS, et alia). He's best known as co-creator with
Len Wein of Swamp Thing (their Swampy stories can be found in
the 5-issue Baxter reprint series ROOTS OF THE SWAMP THING or
the trade paperback SWAMP THING: DARK GENESIS). Among other
things he's done for DC include the Batman mini-series THE CULT
and another random DCU mini-series THE WEIRD. Most recently, he
did all the covers for last year's "Ghosts" Annuals, as well
as the DC/Dark Horse collaboration BATMAN/ALIENS.
(Trivia note: Wrightson was the first Bat-artist to draw Batman
with the "mile-high" ears and a cape that was longer than Batman
was tall. This was for a Batman appearance in SWAMP THING #7,
though I believe that Wrightson did at least one story for BATMAN
or DETECTIVE COMICS in the early 70s as well.)
For Marvel, he's done some art for one or two Punisher mini-series,
as well as a couple of graphic novels (one was Spider-Man, and the
other was, IIRC, a Hulk/Thing team-up). He also did some amazing
artwork for an illustrated edition of the novel FRANKENSTEIN that
Marvel published (it was the actual novel, with illustrations, not
a comic adaptation).
He's also noted for some collaborations with Stephen King, including
doing the art for the CREEPSHOW tie-in graphic novel and for King's
novelette CYCLE OF THE WEREWOLF (a.k.a. SILVER BULLET).
> Mark Schultz,
Best known for creating/writing/drawing XENOZOIC TALES for Kitchen
Sink, which later became the comic (and animated series CADILLACS
AND DINOSAURS). More recently, he did a mini-series, SUBHUMAN, for
Dark Horse, and has taken over the writing on one of the four
Superman monthlies.
> and William Stout
IIRC, his most notable work was for the undergrounds, fan press,
and ground-level comics in the late 60s and 70s. I don't know
what, if anything, he's done in the last 20-25 years, though I
wouldn't be surprised if he'd done work for anthology comics
from Kitchen Sink or various of the 80s "alternate" publishers
like Pacific or Eclipse
