The biographical introduction has been expanded to include much new information about J.W. New to this edition are black and white reproductions of drawings and paintings (circa 193550), most from original artwork and never previously published, as well as an equal number of full-color pages also previously unpublished. It's been expanded to 368 pages, which includes a wealth of previously unpublished and uncollected work by the artist. This revised edition was published on December 9, 1999, the birthday of 'John Willie', as well as the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of the first edition. It was translated into French, German and Italian, and was also made into a movie, The Perils of Gwendoline (1984, directed by Just Jaeckin). ![]() This is the Second Edition (Revised and Enlarged) of a work that was originally published in 1974, and sold over 26,000 copies in the US alone. * 31 watercolor illustrations from original artwork * Includes a selection of illustrations done for Robert Harrison's magazines (Wink, Titter, Flirt, etc.) in the late 1940s * 6 Cartoon Adventure Serials including a previously unpublished 40 page story* 3 illustrated letters from the artist * Includes a selection of illustrations done for Robert Harrison's magazines (Wink, Titter, Flirt, etc.) in the late 1940s * 31 watercolor illustrations from original artwork This is the Second Edition (Revised and Enlarged) of a work that was originally publi * 6 Cartoon Adventure Serials including a previously unpublished 40 page story* 3 illustrated letters from the artist ![]()
