Description

Stan Drake created his "The Heart of Juliet Jones" comic strip with writer Elliot Caplin (younger brother of Al Capp) in 1953. He would draw the daily until it was taken over by Frank Bolle in 1989.

Drake went to the Art Students League, where he learned figure-drawing from the famous artist George Bridgman. It was in this class that he met soon to be lifelong friend, Bob Lubbers. The two men would later even share a studio with John Celardo.

Stan would often reuse his previous work in these later strips by physically cutting the existing artwork or by creating stats for pasteups. These are affixed very cleanly with a series of touchups. This artwork contains a good deal of those. The only actual original art being the wonderful portrait of Freud.

Bought a pair of these from legendary art collector George Hagenauer at the 2022 Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention in Lombard, Illinois. He had them priced appropriately for the pasteups. It was terrific to pick up affordable work from Stan Drake to add into the collection.

Pretty work by the one of the greats of strip art. The good girl drawings are the highlight of this strip, but it all hinges on Juliet Jones reaction to Thor's appearance.
