Description
Francis Godwin (October 20, 1889 – August 5, 1959), better known as Frank Godwin, was a prolific American illustrator who was involved in many facets of the illustration business. His career ranged from doing commercial ads for Coca Cola, Texaco, to illustrating children's books. In the 1920's he created the comic strip Connie for the Ledger Syndicate and continued working on the strip till approximately 1940 when the syndicate folded. Godwin then joined King Features and in 1948 along with Rod Reed as writer where he created Rusty Riley which ran from 1948 to 1959. The strip centers around Rusty, an orphan boy who runs away from the orphanage along with his dog Flip, and ends up being a stable boy for the wealthy racehorse owner Mr. Miles.
Offered here is a beautiful example with Rusty and his girlfriend Patty Miles, the daughter of his boss. To show the setting Godwin delicately integrates a picture of another character and a nice sculpture of a horse.
Frank Godwin's talent for brilliant line drawings, and superb ink work gave Rusty Riley a dimension that few comic strips have ever achieved.
