This week Heritage Auctions is offering some nice original art from my collection (currently at bargain prices -- Roy Crane color pieces under $100?!?!?), plus some 'slabbed' comic books, and some more great research and reading material. Here is the link to the
Heritage website auctions.
 |
| Lovely Bart cartoon for a 1901 issue of the Minneapolis Journal; perfect item for the wall of your library. |
 |
| I was a big fan of Larry Marder's TALES OF THE BEANWORLD back in the day. I purchased this amazing special drawing from him, featuring all the major characters. Nicely framed. |
 |
| (7 photos above) -- a great collection of Roy Crane material -- a childhood drawing (!), a panel from Wash Tubbs, and most importantly a set of amazing huge watercolored portraits of his Buz Sawyer cast. |
 |
| A delightful zany daily from the great George "Swan" Swanson's High-Pressure Pete |
 |
| No baseball fan could resist this superb J.W. McGurk cartoon about the plethora of sluggers coming into the baseball world in the 1920s. |
 |
| Two Our New Age originals, one a Sunday by Fawcette, and the other a daily by Ray Evans. |
 |
| $alesman $am by C.D. Small, maintaining the familiar lunacy of this classic strip. |
 |
| Two more Spuddle's Sport Shoppe pages by the great Russ Johnson -- I think these are the last of the collection. Have you gotten yours yet? |
 |
| How wacky cool is this? In Things To Come, Jim Bresnahan predicts electronic dictionaries, but can't bring himself to consider the possibility that storage methods will ever get any smaller. |
 |
| Another set of United Features proof books. Apparently unwanted and unloved by auction buyers. Wish I could take them home, where they were much prized. |
 |
| (2 photos) group of 12 excellent and some hard to find books about comics and comics history. |
 |
| Mega-huge lot of 81 issues of The Comic Reader. I bought these for the great but unattributed comic strip column -- really wish I knew who did that! |
 |
| A group of 18 fanzines from the 1970s-2000s. |
 |
| Group of 42 issues of the classic Love & Rockets by the Hernandez Bros. |
 |
| Big batch of neat stuff here -- Comics Journals, Comics Revues, auction catalogs, Honk #2 (with Bill Watterson interview) and more. |
 |
| Two comic strip printing plates from the International Cartoon Co. of the 1920s, Just Humans by Gene Carr and Little Julius Sneezer by Baker. |
 |
| Complete set of Fantagraphics E.C. Segar Popeye books, both dailies and Sundays. |
