Description
Alex Raymond - Flash Gordon with Jungle Jim Topper Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 10-13-35 (King Features Syndicate, 1935). Jungle Jim and Kolo are rescued from a man-eating ant deathtrap and then Jim outshoots his black-hearted nemesis, Romney, in this action-packed episode. This Jungle Jim topper measures an overall 25.75" x 14", while its image area is 25.5" x 12", and the art is in Excellent condition. The lower portion of this set is the matching Flash Gordon Sunday. In this thriller, General Tahl's coup d'etat is overturned, and Flash Gordon is crowned King by Queen Azura; later, Flash pleads with Dale to believe that he does not love Azura, but rather, intends to marry Dale. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Dr. Zarkov all star. The period of 1934-36 is often cited as the most desirable to IFlash Q collectors due to the large size of the art drawn during those three years, as well as Alex Raymond's lush dry-brush inking, which was influenced by the work of magazine illustrators John LaGatta and Matt Clark. The overall size of the illustration board measures 26" x 20.75", while the image area is 25.5" x 20", and the condition of the art is Excellent. Don't let this remarkable gem slip past you without a bid!More information about Alex Raymond. See also: Raymond, Alex Artist.
