“Ask Thee to Pardon” Wrightson Artist Edition

“Ask Thee to Pardon” Wrightson Artist Edition

“ASK THEE to PARDON” Frankenstein print by WRIGHTSON!

Hello Nakatomi Peoples!
Produced under agreement with the Wrightson estate, the newest release in our ongoing Bernie Wrightson Artist Edition series of prints is available HERE in the Nakatomi store now!

“Ask Thee To Pardon” measures 12×18, and is hand numbered in a limited edition of 300.

“Ask Thee to Pardon” is a first-time entry into the Artist Edition series, and has been out of print since 2014.

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.

Exacting detail shows the hand of a master at work.


“Ask Thee to Pardon” was created for, but never included in the original publication of the Frankenstein book. Reproduced from a scan of the original art board, provided by film director, Frank Darabont– this print gives the viewer a glimpse into the work of a master.

Hand-numbered and embossed in the bottom corner with Bernie’s distinctive “W”, this edition is limited to 300 copies worldwide. Prints measure 12 x 18″. Printed on archival acid free 100% cotton rag natural white paper, with archival inks, produced in-house at the Nakatomi Print Labs. Prints will ship within two weeks of the release date.

Hand-embossed and numbered in an edition of 300.

Prints are available in the Bernie Wrightson section of the Nakatomi store HERE.

Prints will retail at $50 each. Limit 2 per household.

And make sure you follow the official Bernie Wrightson account on Instagram for more great art from his LONG career!

Note– as usual, the artist’s share of the proceeds from this sale will go to Liz Wrightson.

Thank you-
