<B>Hal Foster - Tarzan Sunday Original Art Comic Strip Art, dated 6-25-33 (King Features Syndicate, 1933).</B></I> Edgar Rice Burroughs' world-famous creation, Tarzan, has enjoyed phenomenal success in a never ending series of books, movies, and radio and TV shows, but comic strip history was made when Hal Foster was selected in 1929 to illustrate the adventures of the Lord of the Jungle for the newspapers. The feature was an immediate sensation, and led Foster from a career in magazine and advertising illustration, into a 42 year stint in cartooning. His work became the "gold standard" for action-adventure cartoon illustration. This Sunday is one of the earliest Foster originals known to exist, and features Tarzan in no fewer than seven panels. This dramatic page from the "Egyptian" story line was presented to Edgar Rice Burroughs as a gift from Hal Foster. To the right of the "Tarzan" logo, in the first panel, an inscription reads, "To Mr. Burroughs -- author of Tarzan -- with kindest personal regards -- from Harold R. Foster." The piece measures 20" x 27.5", in Excellent condition, and would certainly serve as a showpiece even in the finest collection. <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 Conditions before you bid.
