Description

Here's a piece that I've owned for over 15 years which I finally was first able to identify last night. I picked this up in 2005 from my friend, Jerry Weist, who'd acquired it from Forry Ackerman. Although neither of us could identify it, we both felt that it was likely from the pulp, Planet Stories, since along the side of the board was written "Compliments of W. Scott Peacock." Peacock was editor of Planet Stories for many years.

Last night, while going through some issues of Planet Stories, I finally managed to find it. The art ran in the Summer 1944 issue, illustrating "One Against the Stars" by Vaseleos Garson (pseudonym of William J. Garson). Doolin had a long career in the pulps before moving to comics, and he did art for both for Fiction House.

This is a real beauty, Doug--I love it. And I'm sure it was nice feeling to nail it down! A pleasure to see, especially via such a nice scan, so thanks for posting.

Great story to go with the art now making this piece more whole to know the origin.
