The Art of George Wilson 18 Month 2026 Wall Calendar
George Wilson’s painted cover art for Dell and Gold Key Comics from the 1950’s through the 1970’s is the stuff of legend. While publishers like DC, Marvel, and Charlton offered covers with line art and mechanical four-color process coloring, Wilson’s brush strokes soared above the competition on spinner racks to grab the eyes of young readers. For many years, parent company Western Publishing’s books outsold Superman, Batman, and many of the other popular characters offered by the leading publishers.
A posthumously (1921-1998) decorated World War II veteran, Wilson was part of the “Ghost Army,” a brigade of artists and designers that kept Allied Forces safe in occupied Europe by confounding the Nazis with disinformation and glorious artifice using such tricks as inflatable tanks and “phantom” troop movement sounds. The Ghost Army soldiers received the Congressional Gold Medal in March of 2024 for their exemplary service.
George Wilson’s illustrations reliably reflected his personal flair, an impeccable sense of color and design, and they were always—ALWAYS—handed in on time. His “under-promise, over-deliver” work ethic made him popular with art directors and clients, and his gorgeous imagery endeared him with readers. A quiet and unassuming fellow, he let his work speak for him. And it spoke volumes.
