WAYNE BORING (1905 - 1987) was probably the most prominent Superman artist of the 1950s. Boring studied art in Chicago and Minnesota before becoming an artist for National Publications in 1937, where he ghosted Slam Bradley, Spy and Dr. Occult for Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel. A year later, he joined Shuster's own studios, where he took on the artwork of the successful Superman comic. In 1942 he left Shuster to illustrate the strip directly for DC. Boring drew Superman for 30 years and stood out for his dynamic pencil work. Boring made some of the best stories of the 1940s and 1950s, while also working on the Superman newspaper comic for the McClure Syndicate. From 1968 to 1972, he did backgrounds for Hal Foster's Prince Valiant Sunday page, as well as ghosting Sam Leff's Davy Jones.

This is the original art to a Davy Jones comic strip daily dated 4-30-70. The art is in very good condition with moderate white-out and light wear. The image area measures 16.75" x 4.5".
