Hal Foster - Original Art for Tarzan Sunday dat
Hal Foster - Original Art for Tarzan Sunday dated 4-2-33 (United Features Syndicate, 1933). A fine draftsman and a gifted storyteller, Hal Foster brought a sense of realism to the comics page that had seldom, if ever, been seen before. With an eye for detail and an artist's knowledge of anatomy and perspective, one could almost smell the jungle as Tarzan swung through the trees in search of danger and adventure. In this page, Tarzan rushes to the aid of the Princess, as Ptok the Great Ape hurls her to the ground. There are no better examples of Hal Foster's work on Tarzan than this! Foster, who in his earlier life had worked as everything from a newspaper boy, to a hunting guide, to a gold prospector, brought his wealth of true-life experience to the feature, which thrilled audiences for several years, before turning the strip over to the equally-talented Burne Hogarth in 1937, when Foster moved on to Prince Valiant. This work of art presents an image area of approximately 27" x 20", and is in excellent condition. Title logos are stats, all else is original. The piece is signed by Foster in the last panel. 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.
