Ross Andru and Mike Esposito - Original Art for Heart and Soul #1, Complete 8-page Story "Gigolo" (Mikeross, 1954). This is a romance story with an edge! A slick playboy gets his come-uppance when he is drained of all his cash and then dumped by a goldigger! What goes around, comes around, baby. Irony! The overall art paper measures 13.25" x 20", with an image area of 12" x 18". The art is in great condition. Panel one, of page one is a pasted-on correction. Ross Andru and Mike Esposito's art definitely shows the influence of Alex Toth, who dominated the 1950s Romance genre with his sense of design and stylish figures. Note that the gigolo bears more than a passing resemblance to Errol Flynn. 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.
