Description

Picked this up June 2021 in the Heritage auction. 14.25" x 23".

----

From their description:

Chris Ware Acme Novelty Library #8 "Jimmy Corrigan" Story Page Original Art (Fantagraphics, 1996). This full page is actually two pages (top and bottom sections) from the Jimmy Corrigan story that ran in issue #8. These pages were acquired by the consignor directly from Chris Ware. In addition to being in Acme #8, these two pages are also in the legendary, best-selling, award winning book, Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth, where they form a key and incredibly poignant moment in the entire 380 page story -- the only moment where Jimmy's dad says "He's mine" in the whole story! They were created in ink over blue pencil on a single sheet of illustration board with an image area of 14.25" x 23". There is slight toning and minor residue staining along the left edge. There is also minor corner wear. Personalized and signed by Ware in the lower right margin. In Excellent condition.

A perfectionist artist, Ware is technical and passionate about it. Nothing out of place and everything as intended. This wall power is enormous no matter what size.
