Item Description
Collection of six different sketches on sheet of paper mounted to large 20x32" drafting board. c. 1940s. Sketches include Little Pedro in blue ink by Bill de la Tone, who added "Thanks For A Swell Job;" Smokey Stover in faded ink by Bill Holman, who has signed "To John - A Swell Guy And No Help At All;" Sweeney of "Sweeney & Son" in blue ink by Al Posen w/added "Best Wishes To Our Fellow Performer John Clark From Sweeney & Son And Al Posen" inscription w/Sweeney adding "Thanks, John!" word balloon. Archie creator Bob Montana has included a nice sketch of Archie w/text "To 'Glockie' The Name Is Wrong - But The 'Fez' Is Familiar! Thanks For Being In The Act Johnny - Archie And Bob Montana." Grease pencil sketch of The Lone Ranger has text reading "Hi-Yo John Clark!" by Tom Gill and also signed "The Lone Ranger." Slightly faded ink profile sketch of The Phantom by Wilson McCoy w/text "Best Wishes To John Clark From The Phantom." All still very legible w/exception of Smokey Stover, which has faded significantly but is still visible upon close inspection. Paper has three horizontal and one vertical fold. As such, there are three small areas of surface paper loss at fold creases along top horizontal crease. Margin wear w/some chipping, not affecting art. Upper right corner has age spotting and a 3/8x.75" area of discoloration. Smokey Stover illustration is Good/VG while remaining sketches retain a Fine-VF appearance. Nice, unique grouping.
