Description
S. Clay Wilson - Sketchbook Strip (No Publisher, 1955). Here is a very early original sketchbook comic strip done by a young 15-year-old S. Clay Wilson. One of the earliest pieces by Wilson ever brought to sale, this page features early prototypes of his Checkered Demon character. It is filled with the existential angst, gore, and mutilation for which Wilson has become famous. Oddly, the action takes place in England. Signed by Wilson, but at a much later date. An extremely bizarre and shocking piece to have come from a 15-year-old mind in 1955, but still a classic piece showing the direction Wilson's art career would go in the next decade. Drawn in pencil, with very tight lines, the art measures 8.5" x 11" and is nicely framed.Auction Info
