Alex Raymond - Flash Gordon Sunday Comic Strip Original
<B>Alex Raymond - Flash Gordon Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 5-26-35 (King Features Syndicate, 1935).</B></I> For many collectors, Alex Raymond brought an unparalleled feeling of romance to <I>Flash Gordon</B></I> with his superlative drybrush inking of the mid-thirties. Inspired by an approach pioneered by magazine illustrators Matt Clark and John LaGatta, Raymond imbued his pulp magazine archetypes with an exotic and erotic appeal. He combined such fantasy elements as futuristic gadgets with Arthurian costumes and alien animals. This spectacular Sunday featuring Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Azura, the Witch Queen, hails from the brief and highly-sought-after period in which the strip was drawn at its largest -- the full-page format. This Sunday has an approximate image area of 18" x 28", is framed, and is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
