Seven by Gahan Wilson

Last spring over the course of two months these seven pieces of original cartoon art by Gahan Wilson were sold individually on eBay. No publication history is known for any of them and it seems likely they are unpublished..

Gahan Wilson, "I told him not to try for a sun tan!"

Gahan Wilson, "There's something a little ominous about this spring!"

Gahan Wilson, "Don't you just love these media frenzies"

Gahan Wilson, "It was a real challenge for the taxidermist."

Gahan Wilson, "His learning how to talk changed everything!"

Gahan Wilson, "Painting past the edges of the canvas is a real breakthrough!"

Gahan Wilson, "Amazing no one's noticed these little ones before!"

  1. I was the buyer on one of these. The seller was Danny Shannon (sp?). A cartoonist for the New Yorker. These were a great deal for the price.
