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. <BR>
