In an unusual anatomical choice by cartoonist Abner Dean, the descending angel on the dustcover of his book It's a Long Way to Heaven . . . (1945) has wings which emanate not from his shoulder girdle but from his pelvis. The book's introduction is by Philip Wylie who, like Dean, worked for The New Yorker.
The volume offered by Carpetbagger Books of Woodstock, Illinois, was inscribed by the artist "Love to Neva / from / Abner Dean." An odd drawing of an alien stands there on the page, already in possession, it would appear, of a halo.
