Al Feldstein and Johnny Craig - Original Art for Crime Patrol #13, Complete 9-page Story, "I Fight Crime" (EC, 1949). Al Feldstein and Johnny Craig have collaborated on this story, using their team ghost-name of "F. C. Aljohn." Al Feldstein commented, "...I wish that I could draw like Johnny Craig. He was slick and finished and was my idol of where I'd like to go with my artwork.... The Love and Crime books had some stories that were done by F.C. Aljohn, which was Feldstein, Craig, Al, and John..." Al Feldstein wrote and penciled the story, and Johnny Craig inked it. As a bonus to art fans, there are some lovely Johnny Craig blue-penciled drawings on the backs of pages 3, 4, and 5. The overall art paper measures 15" x 22", with an image area of 13" x 18". Some of the blue under-penciling shows from beneath the inks. The art is in excellent condition. The Crime Patrol title stats at the top of each page have fallen off, leaving a glue stain. Panel three of page six has a word balloon correction, that has also slipped off. An early crime story by EC's two editor-writer-artist phenoms! Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
