(no dust jacket) [nice clean copy, spine cloth mildly sunned]. (cartoons by the author and others) The $1000 Red Badge Prize Mystery, a story of a "roaming cartoonist" who sketches an unusual character on the street, only to later find the man involved in the murder of a New York cartoon editor. Interesting as much for its background as for its plot: the protagonist belongs to an organization called the Comic Arts Club, whose members include the cartoonists for various leading magazines of the day -- Collier's, The New Yorker, The Saturday Evening Post, etc.
