Frank Hampson MODESTY BLAISE c. 1962 Original Daily Strip Art "In 1962 Beaverbrook newspapers asked Peter O'Donnell to suggest a new strip idea. He thought long and hard and came up with MODESTY BLAISE. Kennedy Aitken, who was Beaverbrook's Strip Cartoons Editor, suggested they should invite Frank Hampson (creator of DAN DARE) to interpret O'Donnell's -script. Hampson accepted the offer, but took many weeks to return his strip, giving no reason for the delay. O'Donnell was dismayed at the eventual sequence of dailies, feeling Hampson had, "totally misunderstood the character" and suggested his former partner Jim Holdaway be given the strip to illustrate. O'Donnell and Holdaway had worked together very successfully on a previous newspaper strip, ROMEO BROWN. Of Hampson's tryout dailies, which pre-date Holdaway's published strips for the very first adventure, eight have survived. The consignor of this daily owned all eight at one time. This one tryout daily he kept was, to his mind, the best example - and the only one to exist as pure pencils. Of the remaining seven surviving examples, Hampson part-inked those (possibly used for practicing on in later years). This daily strip is the earliest MODESTY BLAISE to exist exactly as it was originally illustrated and presented to Beaverbrook newspapers for consideration. Art arfea size is about 18" x 5" and the artwork is in excellent condition."

Hi I've consigned five items to this month's Russ Cochran Comic Art Auction ending Thursday 30 November 2017. Russ started me off collecting OA back in 1982, which has made me a lot of money on re-sale over the years, so I figured I owed him the opportunity to auction-off some of my spare originals. http://russcochranauction.auctionanything.com/

Back from the framers today . . . Tom Chantrell's movie poster campaign painting for the unflimed Hammer project, A SCENT OF NEW-MOWN HAY (circa 1969). Excuse the odd angle, trying to eliminate camera glare by taking a side shot. Large scan and write-up on my CAF at: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1429066

Collecting original comic-book art since 1982, though for the past couple of years I'm getting more of a buzz collecting original movie poster paintings. I'm pretty sure that the former led me in the direction of the latter (as I'm a fan of diversification): http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=174936

Thankfully, I'm well guarded on a daily basis against all impure thoughts . . .

At first glance, Minnie's dress looked like something else . . .

I had this cover up for sale on my CAF recently with no takers. If interested PM me.

Ah, you edited-in the missing text! Now your message makes sense.

10% October discount now ended. Some sales made, though I've now discontinued my 'For Sale folder on CAF (I don't like having art-sales up on CAF indefinitely). If anyone here wants to approach me on non-Keeper designated artworks within my CAF, feel free to e-mail me for availability and a price (I'm not a fan of 'please enquire' either, but nothing's actively listed for sale right now), http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1865

Cool Creature artwork amongst your update, Roger. Funnily enough, I'm getting in a full-size Creature head within the next couple of weeks . . .

Now removed from CAF. Hopefully, Hans is now challenging the seller on its authenticity . . .

I'm no Schulz expert, but there's a lot of hesitation in the brush-strokes. Even if the artist's abilities were affected by the ravages of old age, I'd expect the simple part of the signature to be swiftly and confidently executed.

A total of 52 artworks are currently available, with all but a few currently offered at a 10% discount on listed prices until the end of October 2017 . . . http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=1865
