Don Rosa - Disney Duck/EC Cover Homage Illustration
<B>Don Rosa - Disney Duck/EC Cover Homage Illustration Original Art (undated).</B></I> Wak -- what if the denizens of Duckburg had appeared in some spine-tingling adventures published by the usual gang of greats over at EC? Hoo-hah -- Don Rosa gives us a glimpse of what might have been, with his delightful lampoons of/homages to four classic EC covers. "Tales from the Bin" spotlights a crazed Uncle Scrooge reenacting a blood-curdling scene with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, taken from Jack Davis' <B>Tales of the Crypt</B></I> #39 cover. Then, in "Web-Footed Tales," a Woodchuck is killed in action as Huey and Dewey recoil in terror when Louie plays out the death scene from Harvey Kurtzman's <B>Two-Fisted Tales</B></I> #22 cover. In "Weird Inventions," Gyro Gearloose is menaced by a gigantic version of his Helper in the parody of Wally Wood's <B>Weird Science</B></I> #15 cover -- they can't hear you quack in space. Last, but not least, in "Walt Disney's Comics and Suspenstories" an axe-wielding Donald Duck finally takes his gruesome revenge on Gladstone Gander in this grisly, yet faithful version of George Evans' <B>Crime SuspenStories</B></I> #24 cover. These four mixed-media masterpieces are matted together for an overall size of 30" x 40". The art is framed and in Excellent condition. <I>From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Comics - Slabbed (certified) (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
