Description
Gil Kane Star Hawks #653 Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 7-18-79 (United Feature Syndicate, 1979). Gideon is ready to make the ultimate gamble in this daily, which also features Rex and the adorable Widget. This is one of the final dailies from Ron Goulart and Gil Kane's cult classic sci-fi strip to feature the unique two-tier layout, as the strip transitioned to a single tier to meet syndication standards as of 7-30-79. This episode was produced in ink and marker over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 16" x 10". Blue pencil editorial marks, whiteout corrections, a stripped-in text correction in the second panel, and light handling wear. In Very Good condition.More information about Gil Kane.
