Howard Hughes




Just wrapped up a series based on a real life court case involving Howard Hughes and his estate.

Apparantly during H.Hughes' infamous last days as he lost his mind, he was found wandering a Nevada highway dishoveled. He was picked up by Melvin Dummar and driven to a casino where Hughes preceded to give Dummar 1/16 of his fortune upon his death.
To sum it up quickly, there was a will involved which was deamed fake by the courts. Dummar received nothing....but had a good story.

The three illos depict Hughes walking the Nevada highway, a log book with pages torn out (Dummar's point was Hughes' aids tore out the pages involving him), and finally, Sunny - aka 'Diamond Tooth' - who was a 'good friend' of Hughes and 'visited' him just before Dummar picked him up.
