<B>Fran Matera - Daily Comic Strip Original Art, Group of 4 (undated).</B></I> Considered by his peers to be an accomplished artist of considerable range, Fran Matera has an incredible body of work in comic strips, and comic book art. His career began upon his return to civilian life from the Marines in 1947, when he was assigned to draw the action strip <I>Dickie Dare</B></I>, created by Milton Caniff, and he has been busy ever since. Here are four daily try-out strips by Matera, including <I>O. Macdonald</B></I>, <I>Classified Clarence</B></I>, <I>For Students Only</B></I>, and <I>Lucky</B></I>. The strips range in size from 14"" x 4"" to 18.5"" x 5.5"". Aside from some overall aging apparent, and some slight staining, the strips average in Very Good condition. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> 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 Co
