Künstler, Mort

Main Back Preliminary Magazine-Cover
Price: $2,650.00
Description:  Soldier with cigar and hand grenade

Comment:  Sad to see that Mort has passed on. I went to his house once… that’s a story for another day though. Depicted is Private Nick Kochek. Also included is the pencil preliminary drawing measuring 15.75 x 16.75” Preliminary is unsigned but is verified on back by the artist himself. Sorry, I do not have a copy of the magazine to accompany the purchase, but I’m showing how it looked anyhow. Should not be a hard thing to find. 

Price: $2,650  (includes domestic shipping)
