Description

Unknown Artist - Original Art for Weird Mysteries #8, Complete 7-page Story, "The Witche's Curse" (Gilmore Publications, 1954). This pre-code horror story from 1954 about a henpecked husband who kills his wife with the help of an old witch (an obvious EC Old Witch swipe) was reprinted in the magazine Shock #1, published in 1969. The mystery artist created work that is cartoony and simply styled, but with a lot of vitality. "Weird Mysteries" is written in blue pencil at the top of each page and taped over with the word "Shock #1." The bristol board pages are a large 14" x 22" with an image area of 12" x 18.5". The art shows very little aging and the work is clean and the linework clear.
