Description
Randy Bowen - Yellow Kid 100th Anniversary Gold Edition Statue and Poster, 3/25 (Gemstone, 1995). Not only was Richard Outcault's classic Yellow Kid character one of the very first American comic strips, but also the subject of one of the first mass-marketing campaigns. Like Palmer Cox's strip, the Brownies, the Yellow Kid was featured on a vast array of products during the early twentieth century, making him an early comic icon. It's only fitting that such an icon should have a statue based on his likeness, and here it is. It's a beautiful gold-toned figurine on a hefty marble base (signed by artist/designer, Randy Bowen); depicted along the upper edges of the base is the skyline of New York City, including the World Trade Center's twin towers. The statue stands approximately 13.5" tall, with a base 8.5 wide. Also included is a framed 13" x 23" poster, signed and remarqued by Randy Bowen. Both items are in Excellent condition.Auction Info
