Early Carol Day Original Comic Art 801 David Wright

Carol day #801. David wright had a facility for drawing women that quickly caught the eye of both agents and clients, so the man who had aspired to be a technical illustrator, by the outbreak of world war ii became great britain's foremost pin-up artist. His pictures of beautiful women came to be called lovelies and were an immensely popular feature of the sketch. He later became highly sought after fashion illustrator and then comic artist. Wright's brilliance at drawing and storytelling art permeates every frame of carol day, his comic strip masterpiece featured in the daily mail, which he worked on until his passing in 1967. He would pencil just enough to establish the positions of his characters, then go directly into the art with a #2 sable brush. When this was finished, he would begin the process of building the complex and varied layers of ink textures and cross hatching that described the final image in a sort of visual tone feast. Prior to the last 2 years of the strip, he eschewed the american comics method of glued down zipatone in favor of hand creating these rich surface textures.

This is a particularly nice early 1959 daily from the edgar tracy story features a striking portrait of carol and very nice lighting in the final panel, as well as another a middle distance shot with rendered sky, as well as a portrait of her friend in the middle one. The story takes place in a beach resort area, featured in the first panel. As with all carol days, this art is drawn on illustration board. Boht the image and board are in excellent condition.

There is a small impact dent at the extreme upper left corner (see scan), some small white-out spots in the upper border and a stain near the bottom of the lower left border, but other than that the art is in top shape.
