Don,
I'm an original comic art collector. I had a question regarding Basil
Wolverton's MM tryout artwork. Hopefully you might have some insight on this
work. I know a gentlemen(very knowledgeable in the comics collectibles
field) who has a Wolverton illustration of Mickey and Minnie "space walking" over a
lunar terrain. He tells the story that Wolverton gave this illustration to a
gentlemen in the 1930's. He in turn obtained it from that gentlemen some 20
or so years later and has had the piece in his collection for the last 40-50
years. The drawing is on 8 1/2 x 11 single ply paper(almost like a bond paper
or a kind of onion skin paper) and unsigned. I remember seeing this piece in
a 70's comic catalog years ago. Have you any insight on this piece or similar
pieces? I can send you a scan of the piece from another of my email
addresses should you care to take a look at it. Do you know of any other collectors
or historians that might be able to give additional information. I appreciate
any help you might be able to provide.
Thanks, Jim D'Amico
