That's stunning Brude, hadn't noticed it before, are you going for it!?

ps how did the elephants trunk get into the undressing Lana thread... Freudian me thinks!!!!

Unfortunately, it is far out of my grasp and we'll probably not see another like this one for a long time -- if ever.
The elephant trunk-Lana incident seems to be an unsolved mystery...I think one of our members was getting frisky.

Ted.. if you like the Tarzan WC, you're sure to like this Hal Foster art from 1934

Wow. Rich, that is a beaut! Yours?
Hal Foster (and Burne Hogarth) are two of the past Tarzan masters most of today's comic-book artists should/need to study.
They could draw rings around the current crop of 'artists.'
Do you have any of Foster's PRINCE VALIANT work?

Ted.. I once had one of the top collections of comic book & comic strip art in the world before I broke it up.
I was also known as having the best taste and only having top examples. I had many Foster Tarzans, but I only kept this one

here is a 1941 Val, a 1949 Hogarth that was exhibited at the Louvre (the first panel was blown up to 10 foot high for the entrance) and just for the hell of it, a Krazy kat from 1922
you can see other pieces I still have at
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=19939 including one of the best Spirit stories by Eisner and another best - Cheech Wizard story by Bode, plus pin up paintings (sorry for the pink tones. I shot these in the wrong light)

the "STOLEN ART" section is terrible to see

You have impeccable taste, Rich. Those pages are beautiful.
Thanks for posting them.
Now send me one.
Don't you socialists believe in re-distributing the wealth?

Note to Rich: This is meant as a joke. I have no desire to hijack this Heritage thread and 'fundamentally transform' it into another rambling and inane political thread.
Just walk away. There's nothing to see here.

Except, of course, this other super-fine offering from HA:

Whatta poster....ends November 18...

Man, the least a man of your talent could do is modify that stick figure into a trademark "Frazetta woman."
Sheesh....

I just knew that response was going to happen. Nice job, Rich.

Thanks anyway, Rich!

Well, just a couple of days left. Almost a third of my watched lots have reached there low end estimate. No huge early bidding wars. I still would rather flip through the catalog instead of looking at them online. Maybe I should ask Grey to send an extra copy of the catalog, so I can have a clean copy.

Anybody surprised by the early action as the internet bidding is ending?

Pretty cool story about this "Anatomy of a Murder" silkscreen poster:

Anatomy of a Murder (Art Krebs Screen Studio, 1984). Saul Bass Silk-Screen Poster (25.25" X 35.5"): This is the original concept Saul Bass painted for the film, before it was altered. The studio diluted his completely blood red background down to an orange top and enlarged actor credits on the bottom. His original idea would only be used by the Italians, who perhaps understood the passion of blood red and its importance to the central plot of the film.. In frustration, Bass would often go to one of the best print studios in Los Angeles, the Art Krebs Screen Studio, just around the corner from his studio, and privately print his original designs in editions of only 100-400 intended as gifts for friends, the Museum of Modern Art, and exhibitions around the world. This silkscreen was done in 1984 in an edition of 300, per a listing from the seller of the remaining few copies who had been engaged by the Bass estate. There are some mild horizontal creases in the bottom credits and mild edge wear. What a completely unique and grand companion piece this would be, displayed with the American one sheet. Rolled, Fine/Very Fine. Estimate: $1,400 - $2,400.

This is the final poster that was used:

If there are 300 of them, what would make it "completely unique"?

, that is funny.

I am not having much luck in this sig. auction, I keep getting blown by everytime I bid on something. Se how the live goes today I guess.

Dread_Pirate_Mel · « **Reply #70 on:** November 18, 2011, 04:29:10 PM »

Anybody else see that Greta Garbo go for $40,000, four times the high estimate? I've been watching sporadically.

ATLfun · « **Reply #71 on:** November 18, 2011, 08:47:47 PM »

I look forward to hearing what some of the veterans thought of the pricing. King Kong and Wolfman stuff seemed to be going either below the estimate or at the low end. The mummy stuff seemed to have to some strong bidders.

Crowzilla- you out there. I know you play in the deep end of the pool.

Crazy bidding war over Breakfast at Tiffany's. VF on linen, with a high estimate of 6K went for 13K. WOW!

After all the dust has settled most of the items I wanted ended slightly higher than I was prepared to pay (annoying that), but I did get two that I'm very happy with, including TERROR that has eluded me in several auctions the past 5 years, a real steal this one

The Terror from the year 5000 was one I really liked, but Im skint.
