Description
Alex Raymond Flash Gordon Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 4-28-35 (King Features Syndicate, 1935). For many Flash Gordon art collectors, there are few Sundays more desirable than one that hails from the brief and highly-sought-after period in which the strip was drawn at its largest -- the full-page format. During this period Raymond brought an unparalleled feeling of romance to Flash with his superlative drybrush inking, and his work was inspired by an approach pioneered by magazine illustrators Matt Clark and John LaGatta. This spectacular Sunday, featuring Azura, Queen of Magic, has an approximate image area of 18" x 28", and it is framed to an overall size of 27" x 37". The title logo is a hand-colored replacement stat; otherwise,, the art is in Excellent condition. From the Bob Cowan Collection.More information about Alex Raymond. See also: Raymond, Alex Artist.
