Hi again Folks!
Some of you are familiar with the "Voice for Children" Lithograph that was
done buy Sturbur Press in 1987. It was a fundraiser, had 60 or so artists
contributions, was signed by each one was numbered 1-195, and cost a lot of
money. But there was also came in a poster version that sold for under $10
and of course all the signatures were just photographs from one of the
signed lithographs.
Well, a couple weeks ago one of these posters comes up on ebay but,
surprise, surprise, it's not exactly the same! Pretty much in the center of
the lothograph/poster is a Mort Drucker caricariture of Ronald and Nancy
Reagan. But in the one that came up on ebay Ronnie & Nancy habeen replaced
with Superman and Wonder Woman. There are other changes as well. Bill
Mauldin's Willie & Joe have been replaced by Green Latern Mauldin's
signature has been expunged. The Disney Characters are also gone. So of
course, I bought it. All of Sergio's stuff is still there.
I haven't had a chance yet to examine the copyright info. But it sure is
strange to look at both of them at the same time!
Take care -Gary G.
