Description
Burne Hogarth - Tarzan Sunday Comic Strip Original Art, dated 11-29-42 (United Features Syndicate, 1942). The Tarzan Sunday offered here is an exquisite example, representing a peak period, both for Burne Hogarth and for the feature itself. At the request of Danton Burroughs (Edgar Rice Burroughs' son), Hogarth hand-colored a limited number of his favorite Sunday pages, with this being one of seventeen known examples. Hogarth personalized and autographed this Sunday in its title panel, only two years before his death in 1996. Of those seventeen hand colored originals, eleven are thought to be owned by the Hogarth and Burroughs families, and this may keep them off the market for many years to come. Burne Hogarth was one of the most influential artists in comic book history. Hogarth gave his Tarzan strip a dynamism previously unknown in comic story telling. This spectacular Sunday has an image area which measures approximately 20" x 26", and the piece is in Excellent condition. From the Estate of Bruce Hamilton.Auction Info
