Crockett Johnson - Barnaby Daily Comic Strip Art
<B>Crockett Johnson - Barnaby Daily Comic Strip Original Art (undated).</B></I> <I>Cushlamochree!</B></I> A Crockett Johnson original? Such artistic treasures seldom turn up in the marketplace, and this one's a real dandy! Barnaby stars in every panel of this daily, dated 8-7 (year unknown), and he's joined by his supernatural friends, Mr. O'Malley and Gus the Ghost. Crockett Johnson, also renowned for his children's book classic, <B>Harold and the Purple Crayon</B></I>, was one of the most creative cartoonists to ever work in the comic strip field. This daily has an image area of 21" x 5.5". The type is pasted-on, and the last panel was cut from the strip and rejoined: otherwise, the art is in Very Good condition. Crockett Johnson signed and inscribed this strip in its lower border, "To Peter Heywood Wang -- Crockett Johnson." Also included in this lot is an autographed hard back copy (sans dust jacket) of<B> Barnaby</B></I>, published by Henry Holt. The end paper was signed and inscribed, "To Peter Heywood Wang, Crockett Johnson."<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
