Dave Berg - Original Illustration, "Air Raid on Iwo Jima" (undated). They say that a soldier's greatest enemy is time, and there's no better confirmation of that concept than these beautiful sketches done by Mad's Dave Berg while he served during World War II. Unflinching, honest, and provocative, these small pieces show the war through the eyes of someone who was not only a participant, but also a gifted artist. The piece offered here, which measures approximately 8" x 5" and is in pristine condition, is gorgeously rendered in watercolor and is signed by the artist in the lower left. A far cry from Berg's later work, this is a side of the artist that is very rarely seen. From both an artistic and historical perspective, these pieces are true treasures. 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. 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.
