Autograph Letter Signed ("Art + Francoise") to S. Clay Wilson with a Drawing by Spiegelman

Sold

Unbound. Octavo. Letter to S. Clay Wilson. Undated but 1982. Folded for mailing, else fine. The left-hand side of the page consists of a Spiegelman drawing of a man with a head made from a sticker for his magazine *Raw*. The text of the letter in full: "Hi Wiltz Herewith Rawz. Going to Yurrp til Sept. 2. then Raw 4. If you wanna show us stuff that might be appropriate… deadline, September 10. Have a good summer. All the best, Art + Francoise." The drawing and full text of the letter are in the hand of Spiegelman, except for the signature of Francoise. In 1975 Spiegelman and Bill Griffin founded the comic *Arcade* which featured the work of artists like Wilson and R. Crumb. Spiegelman and his wife Francoise Mouly founded *Raw* in 1980, and though it was relatively short lived it was extremely influential. A nice association between two founding members of the Underground Comics movement. Spiegelman won a Pulitzer Prize in 1992.
