In 1983 Bernie Wrightson illustrated the comic book adaptation of the Stephen King-penned horror film "Creepshow". This led to several other collaborations with King, including illustrations for the novella "Cycle of the Werewolf", the restored edition of King's apocalyptic horror epic, "The Stand", and "Wolves of the Calla", the fifth installment of King's "Dark Tower" series. He would later illustrate the cover for "TV Guide" magazine's April 26 – May 2, 1997 issue, illustrating the TV miniseries of King's "The Shining".
