Robert Crumb - Original Cover Art for Arcade #2
Robert Crumb - Original Cover Art for Arcade #29 (1962). Arcade was a series of sketches drawn in a notebook that Robert Crumb did as a young artist. He would often create a full-color cover and glue it to the cover of the composition book. Crumb's talent as a colorist became evident in the covers for the early Arcades, which are delightfully vibrant by their use of color in conjunction with his animated line. This private home-spun comic book series was the launch pad for many of Crumb's most famous characters, including Fritz the Cat among others. This art is hand-colored in colored pencil on a 6.5" x 8.25" sheet of paper. 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.
