Sy Barry The Phantom Sunday Comic Strip Art
<B>Sy Barry - The Phantom Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 8-19-62 (King Features Syndicate, 1962).</B></I> "The Ghost Who Walks," the Phantom, has been among the top action-adventure features since its inception in 1936. Over the years, a select number of talented artists have worked with writer Lee Falk to picture the saga of the Phantom. In 1961, the art reigns were taken by Seymour "Sy" Barry, who stayed with it for over three decades. Here is an early Barry Sunday from 1962 (within three months of when he added the Sunday to his work on the dailies), spotlighting his hallmarked streamlined drawing style and lush brush work. This Sunday has an image area of 26" x 17.5", and the top panel tier was cut from the page and later rejoined; otherwise, the art is in Excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
