The Spirit (Will Eisner, 1952) Script/story by Jules Feiffer and pencils/inks by Wally Wood.
Here's an original page of Spirit Section comic art from one of THE most famous Spirit stories of ALL TIME: "A DP (Displaced Person) On The Moon."
This is one of the KEY "censored" pages from that legendary story: where the creators, Eisner and Feiffer and Wood, were forced by the publishing syndicate to to modify the Adolf Hitler character into a South American dictator.
Take a gander at the large 4th panel and you'll see where Wood used white-out to hide the infamous Hitler hairline. When you hold this page of original art up to the light you can still see the features as originally inked.
Plus lots and lots of cool rivets, each one painstakingly created by the hand of Wallace Wood.

This lovely piece of Wood original art was in the California Collection for over a decade, purchased at the San Diego Comics Convention before the Con went on steroids. And now the art is headed to a happy new home in the Corn Belt!
