Lot 0130: AMERICAN GOUACHE PENCIL PAINTINGS BY BILL FRACCIO

41 reviews

Bill (William) Fraccio (American, 1920-2005) gouache and pencil painting on paper, a sketch depicting roofs of houses. A sketch pencil painting on paper depicting a male portrait 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 produce 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.
