Ed Dodd's Trail (Mark Trail) Comic Strip Promotional Piece Original Art (New York Post, 1950s).
This large publicity piece stands apart from Ed Dodd's daily/Sunday continuities for the nature comic Mark Trail. The autobiographical text explains Dodd's origins as a cartoonist -- nodding especially to his mentor, the great outdoor artist Daniel Carter Beard. Showcase panel at lower left pictures Dodd with his signature character, Mark Trail. Bonus panel shows how to draw the character.
A beautifully designed montage. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. Image area, 21.75" x 15.5".
