DescriptionNorman Nodel: "A-Robbin' Upon the Salt Sea", Complete 4-page story from The World Around Us Series #7, Pirates (Gilberton, 1959). Nodel used his considerable scratchboard skills to tell the (true) story of an old Scottish ballad about a boy who turned pirate. Scratchboard is time-consuming - that's why comic book artists rarely used it - except for Nodel, a successful magazine illustrator, this assignment must have been a labor of love. The art image size is 10.5" x 18".When I received the art all text pieces were almost loose, as was most of the scratchboard on the splash page. I took some photos before reassembling the splash.

Considering the rates of pay for artists at the time this is indeed a labour of love. Great stuff.
