Description

Thanks to Ilia Georgiev, i now know that this piece was a work-up prelim for a 1973 DC house ad for the upcoming 'The Shadow' comic book - and thus likely one of the very first Shadow images Kaluta EVER drew! ; image area 7x8"

Much thanks for that! Can you point me to any comic book that has that Kaluta house ad? (I already have the Wrightson/Shadow house ad in one of my books...)
