George Papp - Original Art for Superboy #83, page 9 (DC, 1960). This is the last page of the story that featured the first appearance of the Kryptonite Kid. Mr. Mxyzptlk made his presence known on this last page, making it doubly desirable. Papp's style on the Superboy stories was very distinctive, and this page is a good example of the compositional strength that he gave to each panel. This page has a moderate amount of corrective white-out and the last panel has a redrawn paste-up on Pa Kent's face. The bottom panel also has glue stains, where tape was used at one time to seal a 4" tear. Otherwise, this piece is in great shape. It measures 14.25" x 20" and has an image area of 13" x 18". 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.
