Description
Alex Raymond Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim Sunday Comic Strip Original Art dated 2-26-39 (King Features Syndicate, 1939). Raymond proves he is the king of the action/adventure comic strip, not once... but twice on this Sunday! The bottom Flash Gordon strip is a tense stand-off with the life of baby Prince Alan in the balance. It's from the story line "The Tyrant of Mongo". You get several good panels of Flash; but check out that fantastic rocketship in Panel 3. The topper companion Jungle Jim strip features Jim and Kolu pinned down by machine gun fire while Lil sets the cabin she is locked inside of on fire! Gorgeous art by a master craftsman produced in ink over graphite on Bristol board. The topper image area is 24" x 11" (including the "Save This Stamp" headers of the Turtle and Walrus), while the main feature measures 24" x 19". They are matted together to 29" x 40". Light toning, otherwise in Excellent condition. From the Al Williamson Collection.More information about Alex Raymond. See also: Raymond, Alex Artist.
