Description

i was elated to score this super early wolverton strip - no words, and just a silent super cosmic story of the history of the world (in four little panels!). this is marked "3" on it, so it was part of a story or a series, and at 1930, it's pretty early.

Incredible. I think Terence Malick just remade this strip in IMAX if I'm not mistaken, but I like it better in B&W.

This is excellent! Wolverton showing his excellent draftsmanship.

Way too cool! The condition looks great for an 86 year old artifact. Is it on pebbled board? The textures Wolverton created are outstanding.

So cool and sooooo rare. I agree that this is probably the earliest Wolverton piece I've seen -- I'm sure it predates the more cartoony Chuck Rawgers strips. Mucho congrats on getting this!
