S. Clay Wilson - Sketchbook Strip (No Publisher, 1955)
S. Clay Wilson - Sketchbook Strip (No Publisher, 1955). Here is a very early original sketchbook comic strip done by a young 15-year-old S. Clay Wilson. One of the earliest pieces by Wilson ever brought to sale, this page features early prototypes of his Checkered Demon character. It is filled with the existential angst, gore, and mutilation for which Wilson has become famous. Oddly, the action takes place in England. Signed by Wilson, but at a much later date. An extremely bizarre and shocking piece to have come from a 15-year-old mind in 1955, but still a classic piece showing the direction Wilson's art career would go in the next decade. Drawn in pencil, with very tight lines, the art measures 8.5" x 11" and is nicely framed. 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.
