Chuck and Tom McKimson - Original Comic Strip A
Chuck and Tom McKimson - Original Comic Strip Art for Roy Rogers Daily, dated 9-22-58 (King Features Syndicate, 1958). One of the greatest heroes to ever ride the range, Roy Rogers was one of the biggest stars of a generation. With his great horse Trigger, his companion, Dale Evans, and his musical group, the Sons of the Pioneers, Roy rode the West, singing songs and bringing justice to a wild and untamed land. Star of stage, screen, and television, Roy was also the star of his own comic strip, which ran from 1949 until 1961. Ably written and illustrated by brothers Chuck and Tom McKimson, this strip brought Roy's personal heroism and ideals to the newspaper comics page. This prime example, with an image area of approximately 15" x 4.5" and in excellent condition, is signed "Happy Trails, Roy Rogers" in the first panel. This is a rootin' tootin' treasure for any cowpoke lookin' for the best of the West in comic art! 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.
