    COLORIST colored pencils
    by the H. C. Kurz Co. in Germany
    from the late 1950s
    with an illustration of a spaceman
    making an interesting discovery.
    I was attracted by the colors on the box and because I was a colorist for Marvel Comics at the time.
    The box looked great on my studio wall.
    I would tell people that those were the actual pencils I used to color the comics.
    Some of them actually believed me!
    The close-up detail photo shows what the spaceman has discovered.
    A kind of full circle or 'infinity' thing, with him pictured ON a box of pencils while finding a box of pencils that he's appearing on!

      So awesome.
      I, like most, love these period illustrations. The second spaceman has the correct degree of surprise in his posture, and look at the wheels and axles on the spaceship. Priceless!!

      Fantastic graphics! As an artist who also uses coloured pencils I have a side collection of interestingly packaged pencils & would love to get a set like this one!
