Artist behind many Famous Monster covers
My jaw is on the floor for various reasons, but mostly because I never expected to see this.
Universal commissioned artist Basil Gogos, a legend in his craft, to paint a rendition of The Wolfman as represented by actor Benicio del Toro and make-up artist Rick Baker.

From Oliver Reed from Curse of the Werewolf to Karloff as Frankenstein, Gogos’ long career shaped a generation of monster lovers through his paintings, often seen on the cover of “Famous Monsters of Filmland” magazine.
All I gotta say is Universal better make prints of these available! Want to win a signed copy? Head to the film’s Facebook page.
