Richard Martin Fletcher - Original Comic Strip
Richard Martin Fletcher - Original Comic Strip Art for Surgeon Stone, Group of Eight Sundays (Chicago Tribune, 1950). Dick Fletcher was a cartoonist known primarily for his work on DC's Gangbusters comic book. But from 1946 until 1951, he drew this largely forgotten strip about the world of health care; it fits in well with other medical-themed strips such as Dr. Bobbs, Rex Morgan, M.D., and TV tie-ins like "Ben Casey" and "Dr. Kildare." Offered here are eight Sunday strips from 3-12-50 to 5-14-50, all in excellent condition, measuring approximately 23" x 14.5" each. Each strip displays some editorial notations in the margins, but these do not affect the art in any way. This is a great "instant collection" of this classic strip. 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.
