A very cool Fred Ray piece from 1951 just went up for auction. It was featured in Superman Salutes The Bicentennial oversized comic book. Fred Ray was not just a great comic book artist. He was a highly trained and well-respected fine artist from Harrisburg, Pa. If you ever have time to crawl into a rabbit hole, check out the history of artists who trained in the eastern Pennsylvania area from the late 1800's to the mid 1900's. It's like a who's who of American art! Ray studied under, worked beside and was colleagues with some of the greatest artists in American history. His historic pieces are in museums all over the world. He's always been one of my favorites. If you own one of his pieces, please feel welcome to show it off here. I always enjoy seeing his art.
