Item Description
8.5x10-7/8" paper sheets have pencil drawings, first depicting couple in moment of ecstasy, woman lying nude with exception of corset, stockings and heels; sweating man carves heart into tree trunk with "Sex" carved inside. With exception of bare-breasted woman, rest of picture is done in loose animation style, though still clearly done by Ward who has signed last name in pencil by discarded brassiere. Second drawing, also in pencil, features a spoof on Gunsmoke with Matt Dillon and Kitty Russell in "Short Branch Salloon" as Dillon approaches busty Russell with penciled text at bottom reading "No-No Kitty...I Said I Needed A POSSE!" Perhaps not subtle, but still classic Ward. Pages are lightly aged, o/w N. Mint. Art comes with "The Comic Book Price Guide," 8th edtion from 1978 by Bob Overstreet featuring Bill Ward cover, showcasing various busty female heroes including Wonder Woman, Miss Fury, Bulletgirl, Hawkgirl, Phantom Lady, Lady Luck, Sheena and Ward's buxom blonde bombshell, Torchy. Signed on inside page in blue ink "Chuck's Copy/Bill Ward." Light corner tip wear. Still a very nice, Exc. copy. The cover art for this volume recently sold for $22,000.
