Description
Alex Raymond Rip Kirby Seventh Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 4-12-46 (King Features Syndicate, 1946). Created by Alex Raymond upon his release from the Marines after World War II, Rip Kirby was an updated take on the crime genre, and far removed the earlier school of hard-boiled crime fighters, such as Raymond's own Secret Agent X-9. Kirby was urbane, used scientific methods as often as he used his brawn, and mingled comfortably with the upper crust of High Society. This beautifully staged daily, only the seventh published episode, set the stage for this hugely successful feature that ran for over five decades. Raymond showcased his immense talent in this hallmark daily featuring Rip and his gorgeous gal-pal, Honey Dorian. This strip has an image area of 20" x 6". There is some foxing, a worn syndicate notice, and a repaired horizontal crease through panel two; otherwise, this spectacular piece of comic strip art is in Very Good condition.More information about Alex Raymond.
