Dale Messick - Original Comic Strip Art for Bre
Dale Messick - Original Comic Strip Art for Brenda Starr, Group of Six Dailies (Chicago Tribune, 1945). Here is a rare find indeed: six consecutive Brenda Starr dailies from the end of 1945! The strip ran Sundays-only since 1940, and was joined by a daily strip in 1945; these beautiful examples, all featuring Dale Messick's intrepid reporter, are from early in the strip's history. Beautifully rendered, the glamorous reporter seems to stumble upon stories wherever she goes, this time finding mysterious black orchids in her room when she checks into the Sky-Peak Inn for a ski vacation. In excellent condition, these strips, dated 12-24-45 through 12-29-45 measure approximately 22.25" x 7" overall, and each is signed by Messick. 6 Original 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.
