Description
Lou Fine The Spirit (weekly newspaper insert) "Pink Elephants" page 5 Original Art dated 9-6-42 (Register and Tribune Syndicate, 1942). The romantic chemistry between the Spirit and Ellen Dolan is featured in this page from the Golden Age yarn, "Pink Elephants," and Ebony White interrupts the duo's witty flirtations. In the forties, Will Eisner put together a top-flight creative team. The Spirit's adventures were directed by such legendary comic book talents as Lou Fine, Jack Cole, William Woolfolk, and Manley Wade Wellman. Eisner always had the highest esteem for Fine's skill, "I had respect for his towering kind of draftsmanship. He was the epitome of the honest draftsman. No fakery, no razzle-dazzle -- very direct, very honest in his approach." The image area of this page is 11.25" x 15.75", and the art is in Excellent condition.More information about Lou Fine.
