1st Year Carol Day Original Comic Art 258 - Concert - David Wright :
$169.28

Carol Day David Wright had a facility for drawing women that quickly caught the eye of both agents and clients, so the man who had aspired to be a technical illustrator, by the outbreak of World War II became Great Britain\'s foremost pin-up artist. His pictures of beautiful women came to be called “lovelies” and were an immensely popular feature of \"The Sketch\". He later became highly sought after fashion illustrator and then comic artist........................... Wright\'s brilliance at drawing and storytelling art permeates every frame of Carol Day, his comic strip masterpiece featured in The Daily Mail, which he worked on until his passing in 1967. He would pencil just enough to establish the positions of his characters, then go directly into the art with a #2 sable brush. When this was finished, he would begin the process of building the complex and varied layers of ink textures and cross hatching that described the final image in a sort of visual tone feast. Prior to the last 2 years of the strip, he eschewed the American comics method of glued down zipatone in favor of hand creating these rich surface textures.
....................This is an early-story daily from theParis Episodestory, about Carol\'s involvement with musicians Mark Lovell and Max Kessler in the city of lights. The art was published in July 10, 1957, so it\'s both an early piece--and one from a seldom offered story. The art features Carol and Charles Logan at a concert featuring pianist bandleader George White and his star Jelly, with a drunken Mark collapsing on stage in mid-performance. As with all Carol Days, this art is drawn on illustration board. There are some condition issues with this piece including some white out use, an impact dent in the upper left border and some border smudging in the lower border of the third panel that extends into the word balloon area (see scans). Otherwise, the art is in good and handling with the USA is $11 and shipping to Great Britain and Europe is $23.00 for First Class (no tracking) or $45.00 for Global Priority (with tracking). My apologies for the high price for Global Priority, but costs have risen significantly over the past months. And I\'ve gotten a lot of good response about packaging. To my mind, artwork should be shipped with respect. So included in the shipping cost: each piece of art is first sealed in a waterproof bag, then secured to $2.25 worth of reinforced cardboard bound by professional packing tape..................Payment is to be made within 7 days of the conclusion of the sale....Good luck offerding!
