One of Johnny Craig’s original pages from Crime Illustrated #2. The story was called “Pieces of Hate”

Original art by Floyd Gottfredson and George Herriman are only two of the highlights in the next Russ Cochran Auction. Collectors of original art know that Cochran has always offered some of the rarest and hardest to find pieces in the hobby. With Krazy Kat, Mickey Mouse as well as original art from the E.C. series Picto-Fiction, this may be the legendary auctioneer's best event ever.
