  1. That is one dedicated fakester (if true). He also has a Modigliani, Rothko, and Leger. I am not connected or interested in this type of art, but I do appreciate your notice to the collecting community! Best, David
  2. Happy Sunday! I will be skipping to the FLINTSTONES daily comic strip art. I am waiting for an actual copy of the 1945 "Yank" magazine with the published cartoon by Greenhalgh to arrive in the mail so I can share that with you and include it with that art as a package. Should be interesting if it is a full page cartoon within the magazine, the art is certainly large! Meanwhile, Flintstones for May 31, 1995 by Karen Machette $50 has a great Fred and Wilma gag which you should enjoy! Machette also drew Dennis The Menace, and Scooby-Doo comics. This original art comes with an original protective tracing paper flip-over cover. Overall size is about 15 X 5.5". Blue underpencil and some whiteout are present. Both panels have original art attachments, Fred, and then Wilma. Paper is embossed with "Strathmore 400 Bristol" mark. Signed last panel. Two other attachments you see are the credit, and word balloon panel two. Nice piece! See the original post for terms and background for this sale. Always open to questions and comments, David S. Albright
  3. Both being off square, no difference. IMO, David
  4. This, from my then eleven year old boy. Dated 2004. He now works at a computer chip manufacturing plant here in Vermont. Hi, Maxwell! David S. Albright
  5. Hi, and Happy Thanksgiving, bird's in the oven (butterflied). I just listed this book signed by Robert Ripley, and it has attracted some immediate interest, so I thought i would let this collecting community know about it! It sold for $75. Thanks, David Buy It Now $150 or start the auction at $50, just check the ebay link below. Link to "Clift" Copy Signed Ripley Book Signed by Rip with a dedication, and a great David Clift bookplate, he was a prominent research librarian, apparently.
  6. It's very interesting how the terminology within the description is interpreted. On this HA lot, they used "recreation" for this British cover art. But, it didn't scare the buyer ($16K). link to Super-Spiderman cover art David
  7. OK, on a snowy Friday here in Vermont, I will provide some detail pics on the Mickey Finn Sunday comic strip original art by Lank Leonard! $75. Please check the original post for price drops, terms, and background information about me. This piece measures overall about 21 X 10.5", a nice manageable size for a three-tier Sunday. Dated for June 9, year unknown (1940s?) McNaught Syndicate. As you can see the title is compromised, and there is overall soiling and toning front and back. Funny Uncle Phil car gag with movie reference! Take care, David
  8. Here's a Walt Disney panel from 1963 Mickey Mouse comic strip. Typically credited to Gottfredson. David
  9. I picked up this Gene Byrnes Reg'lar Fellers strip, and discovered the Boswell Sisters, a great girl group who sang with many fine musicians, predating the Andrews Sisters. Their music CD I picked up remains a favorite while riding in my car! You can probably catch some of their tunes on Youtube. Gene Byrnes wrote a good book on cartooning that included special contributions by his artist friends, including Alex Raymond, IIRC. Best, David
  10. Here are a few details for the funny Berrys Sunday original art for Field Enterprises on November 7, 1954 by Carl Grubert. $75 Price drop $60 for this large (overall 23 X 15.5") pen and ink art on standard heavy bristol. Edgewear, staples, glue stain, light soiling and toning throughout. Classic silhouette panel and funny gag featuring Pat and Peter. See original message for terms and details. Click the images a couple times for full size image. Any questions or comments are welcome! David
  11. I picked up this Stan Goldberg cover for Betty And Me #200. It came all double-matted and lovingly framed, doubtful about archival, but it tugged at my nostalgia heartstrings. My access to comic books was limited, to be generous, as a youth. Harvey and Archie. Still catching up! Best, David S. Albright
  12. OK, here are some detail scans of the tremendous Captain Yank original Sunday comic art by the well-known cover artist and illustrator Frank Tinsley. I tried my best with my standard scanner to get as much of the detail as possible. There is a great painted Tinsley cover in an upcoming Heritage auction. Image size on this piece is about 28 X 16.5 inches. It is in a laminated sandwich with black mat and foamcore back. There is nothing I can do about that, and that is the way it is being sold. the overall dimensions of the sandwich are large 32 X 22". If you are able to do a local pickup (I live in northwest Vermont), I can give you a frame and glass that came with this when I got it. You will notice that it is signed twice with a dedication in the bottom tier. The last panel, please note that her lips have been lightly rouged, and there is some pencilling on the bearded man. Some modest whiteout in a couple panels. Foxing starting throughout. $300, I'll take $250 plus shipping (US), check the first post for details on combined shipping. Please comment freely in the the thread, or send me a message. Click through a few times on the images for maximum resolution! Thanks for your consideration, David S. Albright

  15. Here is a scan of one of my 1937 "How It Began" strips by Paul Berdanier, an oddity daily panel created for United Features Syndicate in response to the popularity of Ripley's Believe It Or Not. It's original ink on Ross, or "pebble" board. Size is overall about 9.75 X 10.5". Title is a photostat believed original to the piece (possibly later), original syndicate strip attached. This title was a daily and Sunday comic strip which was reprinted in very early "comic books". It became its own one-shot comic book in 1939. I show a bio from the inside front cover of that book (not included) and some collector notes about Berdanier. I have a few more of these if you have a specific interest in them. $50 each, price drop $40, bulk price possible. On my laptop, I can click the image a couple times to get the enlarged view. Signed by Berdanier in the middle of the panel. Please see the first page of this thread for my terms and background. Good day, David
  16. OK, Secret handshake time! I am another collector who has abandoned comic books as a regular collecting category. I have a half dozen boxes under the bed and haven't even read most of them. I had my local comic store pull a copy of Love and Rockets for me, so I know the feeling, but that was a long time ago! Dark Knight! For the OP, I try to spend way less than I sell on original art, so there is no percentage of less than zero. I'm winding down, but enjoying every minute of it! Now, I will reveal that I, like Philip, will hunt down the comic book for an original art piece I may have picked up. It keeps me connected. And, I confess to picking up my first slabbed books from a recent Heritage auction. These books will start showing up in droves, just need to stay alive long enough! I will stir them into my flea market inventory, and Christmas presents for friends and family. Subject to editing, David S. Albright

  23. $325 OK, thanks for hanging in on this thread!

  24. Hey, here is a nice lot, a full week of Berrys comic strip original art by Carl Grubert for Field Enterprises.. Affectionately known in the collecting community as the poor man's Blondie, this popular strip ran for forty years in newspapers across the country. I have teamed the strip art up with a first edition copy of The Comics from 1947 by comic artist and historian Coulton Waugh, in good condition with the four color plates intact (Krazy, Nemo, Terry, BUF). Taped spine. The strips are dated August 11-16, 1958, maybe your birthday is in there! They have an attractive blue wash to indicate shaded areas. A desirable Saturday golf strip is included. $225 for the strip art and the history. Shipping is $10 no matter how many lots you buy. If you already have the book in your library, let me know, and I can make a price adjustment for you. Best, David S. Albright
