Lot 0133: AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION INK PAINTING BY BILL FRACCIO

41 reviews

Bill (William) Fraccio (American, 1920-2005) ink painting on paper depicting a WWII era military scene, an original vignette, Could You Tell Me Where I Could Ger a Hamburger. Signed lower right. Titled in pencil lower to the center. Additionally inscribed on the back. William Fraccio was an American comic book artist whose career stretched from the 1940s Golden Age of comic books through 1979 when he turned to producing advertising art and teaching. He is best known for his 23 years run at Charlton Comics, where he illustrated, among many other things, the first two professional stories of future Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Roy Thomas. The often-uncredited Fraccio and his frequent art partner, inker Tony Tallarico, sometimes used the joint pseudonym Tony Williamson and, later, Tony Williamsune, on stories for Warren Publishing's horror-comics magazines Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella. One of a kind artwork.
