<B>Alex Raymond - Flash Gordon Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 6-20-37 (King Features Syndicate, 1937). </B></I> During the inspired period of 1936-38, Alex Raymond brought the quality of heroic romance on <I>Flash Gordon </B></I>to its all-time high, and his superb drybrush inking on this episode rivals that of "hall of fame" illustrators Matt Clark and John LaGatta. This gorgeous piece has a fascinating provenance. For many years it was in the personal collection of Australian artist and Alex Raymond enthusiast Stanley Pitt, who was greatly inspired by Raymond's <I>Flash Gordon</B></I>. From 1945-1948 Pitt's own newspaper strip, <I>Silver Starr in the Flameworld</B></I>, ran in the <B>Sunday Sun</B></I>. Later, he produced several book cover illustrations and was widely celebrated as a top-tier illustrator of science fiction. Without a doubt, Pitt was one of the finest Australian comic artists working in the classic adventure tradition. This Sunday, a touchstone for Stanley Pitt and countless other cartoonists, has an image area of 20" x 15.75", and the art is in Very Good condition. This magnificent masterwork from the Golden Age of newspaper comics is sure to make a treasured showpiece for any fantasy art collector.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Medium (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
