{"product_id":"the-blighted-eye-9781606996959","title":"The Blighted Eye","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blighted Eye is the most copious  the most diverse  and the most lavish compilation of original comic art ever published all from the mind-boggling collection of Glenn Bray. Bray was an enthusiast of marginal or outsider American pop culture when he started to collect original comic art in 1965 a time when very few people  including the artists themselves  truly valued the original art. Bray has  over the last nearly 50 years  amassed the most eclectic collection of original comic art in private hands. The book features work by a pantheon of cartooning masters  including Charles Addams  Carl Barks  Charles Burns  Al Capp  Dan Clowes  Jack Cole  R. Crumb  Jack Davis  Kim Deitch  Will Elder  Al Feldstein  Virgil Finlay  Drew Friedman  Chester Gould  Justin Green  Rick Griffin  Bill Griffith  Matt Groening  George Grosz  V.T. Hamlin  Jaime Hernandez  George Herriman  Al Hirshfeld  Graham Ingels  Bernard Krigstein  Harvey Kurtzman  Gary Panter  Virgil Partch  Savage Pencil  Peter Pontiac  Charles Rodrigues  Spain Rodriguez  Charles Schulz  Gilbert Shelton  Joost Swarte  Stanislav Szukalski  Irving Tripp  Chris Ware  S. Clay Wilson  Basil Wolverton  Wallace Wood  Jim Woodring  Art Young  and it should go without saying many more. Public exhibitions of original comics art has proliferated over the last decade with such shows as Masters of American Comics at LAs Hammer Museum and R. Crumbs Underground at Seattles Frye Museum. Readers have been able to see this original art in museum catalogues and the occasional compilation of work digitally scanned directly from the original art. Although drawn for print  the hand-crafted original art brush strokes and pen lines inked on paper offers a beauty and an unique insight into the form  a different way of perceiving the artists work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666318385205,"sku":"ByrdShop_1606996959","price":250.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781606996959.jpg?v=1782427991","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-blighted-eye-9781606996959","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
