We scanned a color photocopy that Don sent me and I believe Mattias' rough
estimate of the size is correct. The original drawing was (and probably is)
located in Finland. The image is a Scrooge version of the cover of Tim Holt
#17 (1949) by Frank Frazetta, one of Don's favourite comic book covers of
all time. Mighty impressive cover (as is much of Frazetta's work!).
