Description
Bill (William) Fraccio (American, 1920-2005) Cold War era pencil painting on paper depicting a portrait of a soldier. Completed with a vintage newspaper sheet with black and white photographs and an article about the Japanese and the aftermath Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A large printed portrait photo of a survivor, 1947, by Carl Mydans (1907-2004), an American photographer and journalist. William Fraccio was an American comic book artist whose career stretched from the 1940s Golden Age of comic books through 1979 when he turned to producing advertising art and teaching. He is best known for his 23 years run at Charlton Comics, where he illustrated, among many other things, the first two professional stories of future Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Roy Thomas. The often-uncredited Fraccio and his frequent art partner, inker Tony Tallarico, sometimes used the joint pseudonym Tony Williamson and, later, Tony Williamsune, on stories for Warren Publishing's horror-comics magazines Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella. One of a kind artwork. Vintage newspapers, magazines, letters and collectibles.
