DRACULA & WOLFMAN vintage signed 8" x 11" and similar items

vintage signed 8-1/2" x 11" magazine illustration by artist JIM JONES From the estate of Jim Jones (from his personal archives). This item is from the archives of Jim Jones’ personal studio, which was recently purchased from his estate. Born in 1928, Jim Jones was a prolific creator in the comic book field. He worked for (and with) Harvey Kurtzman, Ron Wilber, R.C. Harvey and many others that were also close friends. Although he did not reach the prominence of some of his contemporaries, he was well known and respected in illustrator and creator circles, and his work was published frequently in numerous fanzines such as RBCC, The Collector, Fantasy Illustrated, Alter Ego, Batmania, ERBdom and more. His professional work appeared in Playboy, Adam, Sir, Mad, Cracked, Trump, National Lampoon, Help!, Fantastic Monsters, Esquire, Sick and many other magazines! Several of his series were self-published with very limited print runs. Among the voluminous contents of his archives were many pieces of production art, many original finished pieces, hundreds of sketches, and multiple copies of prints (most on plain paper) that he produced. Everything that is being offered for sale is a vintage part of Jim’s studio archives and was produced or owned by him before his death. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 1995, he passed away the following year.
