While largely forgotten today, Virginia Huget is one of the most important comic artists of her era. She illustrated early works for Dr. Seuss, invented comic strips as one of the first women in the industry, and almost single handedly popularized the "flapper" in popular culture. A fantastic image from the archives of King Features (where she worked) this rare image shows Huget hard at work on her latest creation and wearing a flapper outfit that she helped popularize! A unique new discovery in great shape that is being offered here for the first time ever.
