Pencilled by Dan DeCarlo PEP #311 Pin-Up Page Original Art (Archie, 1976).
Great Dan DeCarlo Pin-Up page featuring Jughead Jones with his bottomless pit of an appetite. Hamburger chef Pop Tate honors the imperative, with a word of caution.
Classic Archie-style tomfoolery from a definitive Archie stylist, with an emphatic job of ink-brushing. Signed at lower left. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. The image area measures 10" x 15" inches with light toning and the artwork is in very good condition.
Please note the comic book image is provided as reference, and is not sold with the artwork.
Dan DeCarlo (December 12, 1919 – December 18, 2001)
Beginning his career at Archie in the mid 1950s, DeCarlo is best known as the artist who developed the look of Archie Comics in the late 1950s and early 1960s, modernizing the characters to their contemporary appearance and establishing the publisher's house style up until his death. DeCarlo drew every character in the Archie pantheon at one time or another, but it is his outstanding work on Betty and Veronica that he is held in such high regard for.
Art collectors seek out original artwork from DeCarlo’s best period artistically, which is the mid 1950’s to the early 1970s. Artwork from this period is highly sought after and steadily rising in value.
