Alex Raymond Flash Gordon with Matching Jungle Jim Topper Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 7-21-35 (King Features Syndicate, 1935). For Alex Raymond fans, a Flash Gordon episode doesn't get much more fantastic than this super-spectacular example -- the Magic Men's dragon-drawn chariot in panel four is breathtaking, and this sequence concludes with a satisfying bit of swashbuckling sword play. Alex Raymond brought an unparalleled feeling of romance to Flash Gordon with his deft drybrush inking of the mid-thirties. Inspired by an approach pioneered by magazine illustrators Matt Clark and John LaGatta, Raymond imbued his pulp magazine archetypes with an exotic and erotic appeal that was irresistible. These strips have a combined image area of 25.5" x 34", and they are in Excellent condition. From the Don Vernon Collection.
