Original Vintage Art & Text
The original art (above) is unusual. Portions of real newspaper columns were apparently pasted onto the art board and then partially whited out. So I’m also posting the published version of the panel (below) so that you can see how it turned out.
Art by Frank Frazetta in the story “A Love of My Own” in Personal Love #24, 1953. Published by Eastern Color. Curious to see more?
