Description
Basil Wolverton - Illustration Original Art (undated). Amusingly, astonishingly, and utterly singular, Basil Wolverton created some of the most bizarre and fascinating drawings done in comics. A master of the absurd, he is, with Robert Crumb, comics' most individual "cartoon" style artist. It is unfair, however, to label him as just a "cartoon" artist. He produced some of the most surreal and disorienting science-fiction stories ever, and his so called "bigfoot" work exhibits a total mastery of drawing and rendering, just as Robert Crumb's does. His influence reached far, and can be seen in a generation of Underground and above ground artists such as Will Elder, Wally Wood, and of course, Crumb. This pen and ink drawing measures 10" x 7.25," and is in Excellent condition.Auction Info
