Original Art! Complete Basil Wolverton Story Featuring Supersonic Sammy in "Mermaid of the Milky Way" Not sure of the publication date of this story -- I think it was a backup story to Powerhouse Pepper Comics which appeared in the 40's. Basil Wolverton's distinctive and unique style was a significant influence for many other artists. He shows a great comedic flair and extraordinary talent, evident in this art that has no white out or visible sketch lines anyw in the entire story. Please feel free to email me with the comic in which this story appeared. Wolverton art is relatively rare because despite his considerable talent, he was not terribly prolific, having done some golden age humor, 50's horror and back to humor in the 70's. I have owned this story for about a decade. Currently t is an auction on ebay with a Powerhouse Pepper story, valuing the individual pages at $ 10,000 each. You can own this story for $ 6,500 a page! Note: Someone questioned me because the art shows a publication date of 1964, so I emailed Monte Wolverton, son of Basil, and an artist in his own right, who maintains a site that also discusses his father at (check it out!), and he wrote me back: On Apr 22, 2008, at 8:35 AM, Brad Mandell wrote:Dear Monte, sorry to bother you âe" I am a collector who owns a Basil Wolverton story featuring Supersonic read more
