Description
Joe Beck and Otto Eppers - Complete 1-Page Stories Original Art (Chesler/Dynamic, 1940s). This lot offers a peek into the Golden Age of comics, specifically into the packaging studios, who produced comics and stories for whomever was paying them. The first and biggest of these was Harry Chesler, who started his shop in the late 1930s. This group of six 1-page gags were created to fill out comic issues to aid with pagination. Many of these ran sporadically across any number of titles and some of these were reprinted in other titles from other subsequent publishers. Joe Beck and Otto Epps cranked out a lot of these pages and these six one-panel gags are a fine example of the cartoony style they employed and also their sense of humor. Identifying where they were published is difficult due to the scarcity of Golden Age comics but three of these pages, "tunnel of love,"four star general," and "It's my husband!" ran in Yankee Comics #5. Each page was produced in ink over graphite on illustration board with an image area of 8.5" X 13.5", all mounted to a second illustration board with a total area of 28" X 28" square. Boards are moderately toned with moderate handling and wear. Graphite smudges, ink stains, and soiling visible on all pages. In Very Good condition.More information about Joe Beck.
