Dept Of The U.S. Army - Preventive Maintenance Monthly Single-Page Calendar Original Art (1969)

Check out this fully drawn Will Eisner PS: The Preventive Maintenance Monthly Single-Page Calendar Original Art pinup (Dept. of the Army/LOGSA). The pasted-in signature reads, "Will Eisner," and the style matches, but the art is either (1) a re-purposed Eisner composition, or (2) a first-rate emulation of Eisner by his protege Mike Ploog, who had joined the Army publication around this time and would gradually take charge. Either way, the drawing is splendid. (Eisner had by-and-large sidelined his signature creation, The Spirit, since the 1950s, and his gradual withdrawal from the military book presaged a return to The Spirit). This original-art/collage composition consists of ink and graphite on wrinkled sheet of tracing paper on board, measuring 13.5" x 20.5". Intact, though discolored overall. All wording on the bells the women are holding as well as the small calendars and sign at bottom right are all HAND DRAWN!
