Description
Wayne Boring Superman Sunday Comic Strip #479 Original Art, dated 1-2-49 (McClure Syndicate, 1948). In this forties Sunday, Superman finds himself involved in a hot and heavy court case, only in this case, it's pure fiction. Meanwhile, in real life, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster had just sued DC Comics for a bigger cut of the royalties on the product licensing of their creations for the company. When the dust had cleared from that legal brouhaha, DC had the "by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster" byline removed from the comic strip and the comic books, and the byline would not return again until after 1975, nearly thirty years later. Wayne Boring was allowed to sign this strip and his signature appears in the final panel. His art has never looked more refined or polished, and this Sunday showcases Boring's talent for "good girl" art -- Lois Lane looks absolutely gorgeous. This Sunday has an image area of 19.5" x 25.5", and the art has been professionally restored to Excellent condition.Auction Info
