Frank Frazetta - Original Art for L'il Abner Daily dated 6-17-57 (United Features Syndicate, 1957). One of the longest running strips in American cartoon history, L'il Abner has become an American institution. For a period of time in the 1950s, Capp turned over the drawing chores to an as-then-unknown artist named Frank Frazetta. Artistically, these strips, of which this is a prime example, are considered some of the best of the strip's entire run. This piece is in beautiful condition, with light blue line letter guides running through the top two-thirds of each panel. There is a slight amount of white-out used, mostly to eliminate a border in the first panel, and to correct a few letters in the second panel. Signed by Al Capp, this is a great example of Frazetta's early work. The piece measures approximately 19.75" x 6.5", with an image area of approximately 18.75" x 5.5". 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. 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.
