Weird Paper Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Got this little guy yesterday! Really pleased with it; Beautiful, historical and rare Opper. That's wonderful stuff. The breadth of his career is astonishing. This is from 1901 -- cartoons about the soon-to-be-assassinated Wm. McKinley's cozy relationship with the "trusts." Opper was already well established at this point. Opper is great! Picked up this weird 3" by 5" metal tray a while back. Is this Opper or someone ripping him off? It's hard to tell from that scan, but I'd guess it's somebody else copying or tracing Opper. More importantly... what the hell is going on there? Is she a... are they...?

adamstrange Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Those Burnley Starman covers and stories are outstanding. I really enjoyed reading the reprints of those when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciorac Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm going to go after the Starman covers when I have some extra $$. All great covers. A worthy goal to be sure! And Richard's copies would make a nice cornerstone for your collection Gorgeous books Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electron Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I sold a couple of these a while ago. The Christmas economy caused them to find their way back home, with a new friend! Amazing trio of superb Starman covers! I think it's about time that Overstreet broke out issue 62 from the rest of the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
