Bob PowellGreen Hornet#22: \"Spirit of \'76\" Story Page 9 Original Art (Harvey Comics, 1945).This page of original art was purchased by me through HERITAGE sales. Following is the write-up [slightly edited] that accompanied the listing:On this page of original art, The Spirit of \'76, a costumed hero of World War II, thwarts an enemy attack.Powell\'s style is maturing rapidly here -- several years before the great cartoonist would find his truer level as a leading horror/SF illustrator. Although unrelated to Will Eisner\'sSpiritfranchise, this character is patently a takeoff on the character created by Powell\'s former boss, with a similar mask and Revolutionary Era clothing replacing a suit-and-tie wardrobe.
Ink over graphite on Bristol board, with painted white retouching. Image area is 13\" x 18\". Light pencil marks (lettering guidelines) remain visible -- a vivid reminder of Powell\'s painstaking approach, inasmuch as he handled the lettering, too. Light toning. Excellent condition.
From the Ethan Roberts Estate Collection.
