    Will Eisner’s Incredible Facts, Amazing Statistics and Monumental Trivia. Page 4 (1974)

    “Life, Love & The Pursuit of Happiuness.” Will Eisner channels Jack Davis in this splash page crowd scene from Incredible Facts, Amazing Statistics, and Monumental Trivia. A rare example of Eisner’s humor cartooning, this page sets up the collection of startling-but-true nuggets about health, wealth, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness to be found in the book.

     Inspired by underground comix, newsstand humor magazines and book collections of humor cartoons Eisner wrote, illustrated and published a series of humor publications prior to developing the Graphic Novel format in 1978. This page is from an early entry in that series, which would eventually become known as "Gleeful Guides."

    Price: $1,000

     Size/Medium/Condition: Pen, brush and ink with paste-up elements (mechanical lettering). The original measures 7.5 x 10 inches on clear vellum which has been lightly glued onto 9.75 by 13 inch heavy illustration board. An additional protective vellum overlay is taped onto the board, which contains some editorial corrections in Eisner’s handwriting. Some discoloration of headline stats and rubber cement after nearly 50 years. But the jam-packed artwork is clean and uncompromised. Excellent overall condition.

    Provenance: The Will Eisner Estate is exclusively represented by the Denis Kitchen Art Agency, an affiliate of Steve Krupp’s Curio Shoppe and Gallery. This drawing is warranted to be an authentic original created by Will Eisner, and sold on behalf of his estate. Note: Image is © Will Eisner Studios, Inc.
