HOWARD
CRUSE ORIGINAL ART
Title/date/description:
Untitled, Undated Color
Revolutionary War illustration “Nervis
Crossing the Delaware"
We don’t know exactly when this was created or
what it was done for, other than its
Revolutionary War era theme. Two
characters, Nell & Nervis are
floating in a polluted Delaware River, with a
Red Coat punchline. Great background
illustration of George Washington &
crew crossing behind them. Howard’s NY address
is hand-lettered on the reverse side. Since he
and his husband Eddie moved to Western
Massachusetts in 2003, this original pre-dates
then. Beyond that window we don’t know anything
about this piece, other than it’s
terrific.
Size/medium/condition: 17 x 9
inches (43.2 x 22.9 cm). Tempera
& Ink on heavy Bristol board. Small pieces
of tape in upper corners. Excellent condition.
Provenance: Warranted to be
authentic and from the estate of Howard Cruse, which the
DKAA agency exclusively represents.
Further reference: Howard
Cruse (1944-2019) was an
American cartoonist best
known for humor and gay themes. First coming to
attention in the 1970s during the underground
comix movement with Barefootz,
he was the founding editor of Gay Comix in
1980, created the gay-themed strip Wendel during
the 1980s, and he reached a more mainstream audience
in 1995 with his masterwork Stuck
Rubber Baby (published in an anniversary edition
in 2020 by First Second).
We have art from Cruse’s full career. If you don’t see
