JEFF MACNELLY (1977-2000)

"Shoe." Sunday Page comic dated March 15th 1987.

Published by Tribune Media Services, with their label in 7th panel. Ink and marker board. 425x584 mm; 16 3/4x23 inches, sheet. Signed "MacNelly" in the top left corner and again, with date 3/15 in last panel; additionally inscribed by MacNelly below the title panel.
This comic focuses on a quintessentially 1980s Wall Street theme, as a commodities trader who has stepped into the bar, tells the title character Shoe about his line of work, and interest in "Mercedes futures." Unlike other Shoe pages which have come to the market, this page is vibrantly hand-colored in watercolor.
