ALEX RAYMOND (1909-1956)
Original Magazine Story Illustration, c.1936
Ink on paper
22in. x 20in. (sight size)
Signed lower right: Alex Raymond

This breathtaking illustration has an eerie and haunting resonance -- the grim reaper goads a beautiful couple to race on in their convertible. Twenty years later, Heart of Juliet Jones cartoonist Stan Drake and Alex Raymond suffered their own deadly high-speed crash.

Writer Arlen Schumer interviewed Drake about the accident in an article for Hogan's Alley #3. To Drake, Alex Raymond was a striking figure; matinee-idol handsome with a pencil-thin mustache, virile, hugely talented and admired among his peers. Alex Raymond wanted to test drive Drake's new 1956 Corvette convertible, which boasted 450 horsepower, and a four-second acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour. On that day, September 6th, 1956, a steady rain was falling, and the top was up on the Corvette. At first, Drake took the wheel, traveling around Westport while Raymond admired the automobile. "Finally, we were on a road over by the highway, and he said, 'Can I drive?' and I said, 'Sure.' " Raymond began driving down South Morningside Drive to Clapboard Road, where Raymond began driving as if he were on his favorite race course.

"They calculated where the wheels hit the road, and it was about sixty feet. The last thing I remember, we were coming right at these trees. There was a pencil on the dashboard, and it was floating in the air. That's the last thing I remember before we hit." Raymond was killed but Drake was thrown clear, and survived the c

Original Magazine Story Illustration, c.1940

28.5in. x 30in. (sight size)
Signed lower right: John Falter
Provenance: Morris Weiss collection

Born in Plattsmouth, Nebraska, John Falter was a renowned illustrator, portrait artist, and Western history painter. In 1928, Falter studied at the Kansas City Art Institute, and later, at the Art Students League in New York City. Falter also attended classes at the Grand Central School of Art and studied under George Wright, an illustrator for The Century, Harper's, Scribner's, and The Saturday Evening Post. Falter began his career by illustrating pulp magazines and in 1933, he received an assignment from Liberty magazine to produce three illustrations a week. His first Saturday Evening Post cover, a portrait of Ben Franklin, appeared in September, 1943. By 1969, he had done nearly 200 Post covers and he worked for the Post until it ceased publication. In 1943, Falter joined the Navy and produced over 300 recruiting posters, and also painted a war hero series for Esquire. Among Falter's many clients were Good Housekeeping, The Ladies Home Journal, Life, Cosmopolitan, McCalls, Gulf Oil Company, Four Roses Whiskey, and Arrow Shirts. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Falter painted hundreds of Western scenes, many depicting the history of the westward migration from the Missouri River to the Rocky Mountains. In 1976, Falter was inducted into the Illustrators Hall of Fame and his work was also exhibited at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
