<B>Bob Montana - Archie Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 5-9-48 (McClure Newspaper Syndicate, 1948).</B></I> It's hard to imagine ever finding a more classic representation of the ever-adorable Betty Cooper. This exceptional example, dated "5-9," is from the legendary co-creator of Archie, Bob Montana. One wonders how Archie Andrews could have been so blind to the many attractive qualities of the love-struck Betty while he chased Veronica Lodge. This strip manages to slap the viewer in the face with several of those assets. Bob Montana was the consummate artist on the <B>Archie</B></I> comics, and his version of Betty Cooper remains the standard by which subsequent artists were judged. She was the wholesome, all-American girl next door, the girl that every mother wanted her son to marry. But beneath the subdued exterior brimmed a feminine essence that would have transfixed the most discriminating male. This work of art will be the highlight of any collection of Archie memorabilia. This piece measures approximately 15" x 22". The title panel and first panel of this comic strip are missing, but their absence doesn't diminish the integrity of the story. A similarly weighted piece of illustration paper has been carefully attached to the missing area with museum quality tape.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Large Flat (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
