Bold vintage ballpoint pen signature on a 3x5-inch pale blue autograph album page, acquired in-person in the late 1940s. In good condition, with a small water stain to the upper left-hand corner tip, nowhere near the writing, and ideal for matting. Bud Abbott and fellow funnyman Lou Costello starred in a series of horror, fantasy and sci-fi-themed comedies at Universal, including Hold That Ghost (1941), Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949), Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951), Jack and the Beanstalk (1952), Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1953), Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (1953), and Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955).
