Description

Art Cappello For Lovers Only #85 Complete 7-Page Story "Taming the Tigress!" Original Art (Charlton Publ., 1976). The rich precision of the pencil-and-ink compositions makes this specimen a high point of Cappello's long and prolific career at Charlton, where he specialized in romance stories as a member of senior artist Vince Colletta's free-agent studio. The story is a twist-ending gem, involving a shy fellow who turns the tables on an aggressive young woman. There is a tasteful, semi-indiscreet eroticism about the story, which benefits throughout from Cappello's expressive faces and kinetic poses. The Bristol board art measures 10" x 13.5" on the opening page and 10" x 15" on Pages 2-7. With light toning and scattered white-paint retouching, the set averages out on the high end of Very Good condition.
From the Lars Teglbjaerg Collection.
