"SUK-A-DUK" - Original Pencil Illustration Published in "Bodē's Broads" Portfolio Author: [Original Comic Art] Bodē, Vaughn Place: Publisher: Date: c. early 1970s Description: Pencil on drawing paper, measuring 16½x13½" (image area is 12½x9¼"). Signed "Vaughn Bodē." Excellent condition. Highly-finished pencil preliminary for a painting, entitled "Suk-A-Duk," used as a plate in the posthumous "Bodē Broads" portfolio released by Bagginer Press in 1977. Bodē is famous for his lush fantasy scapes and voluptuous female nudes, and his images are perennially in favor, due in large part to a surge in popularity of his images among contemporary graffiti artists. "Bode's cartoon worlds are beautifully drawn, replete with thick outlines and soft contours that possess a simple and delicious graffiti-like aesthetic. The hilarious characters run the gamut from whimsical to sardonic." —Graffiti artist Andrew Witten ("Zephyr"). A limited edition of 100 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues are available. Over 200 pages, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcovers $40, dust-jacketed hardcover with limitation plate $200.

Crumb says, "I found [PBA's catalogue] so interesting that I am saving it for the texts that accompany the comics which were put up for auction. This is some of the best commentary I’ve yet seen on the quality of the content of comic books. I especially enjoyed the reviews of the post-war horror comics. Great. Priceless."
