Charlie Plumb (attributed) - Original Comic Strip Art for Ella Cinders Daily dated 7-23-42 (United Features Syndicate, 1942). Ella Cinders was the Cinderella-esque young girl who is forced to slave for her step-mother and two step-sisters before winning a beauty contest and landing a career in Hollywood. Originally written by Bill Conselman, artist Charlie Plumb took over the scripting duties in 1940 after Conselman's death. A popular strip in its day, Ella achieved real Hollywood fame in 1925, when actress Colleen Moore portrayed the rags-to-riches girl in a silent film that also starred Harry Langdon. The piece offered here, measuring approximately 22.5" x 6" overall, is in excellent condition. The signature of Plumb in the last panel is a stat, but everything else is strictly original. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
