Weird Horrors 07 (1953-04.St. John) cover William Ekgren (HA Darwin Edit)
William Ekgren, 1953.
One of three paintings Archer St. John and editor Marion McDermott paid Ekgren $100 to for publication rights at his stall in Greenwich Village, though never intended as a comic book cover.
Comic historians and art lovers alike stare dumbfounded at these Ekgrens and wonder at we're looking at. Fucking mystical, man.
Worked from a low grade but vibrant copy that sold at Heritage last weekend.
