Comic Strip Art: What's your Oldest Piece? 0

[soulcage]

For the comic strip art collectors out there, what is the oldest (and perhaps most obscure) piece in your collection? I'll start with one (part of several) from my collection: Moncayo's "Don Quixote's Latest Adventures" from 1922.

My oldest complete strip is Buck Rogers daily strip 1945 by Calkins

 

 

 

I have two older strips one is a Superman 9/4/42 by John Sikela. 

I heard the syndication didn't want a competitor reprinting Superman strips so they had them destroyed.

 

 

 

 

Or Flash Gordon (single panel) 1935 by Alex Raymond.

Brian - these are beautiful. I love the Buck Rogers strip. That torn half of a Superman strip is interesting - kudos to whoever salvaged it!

Here's another: an adorable Gene Byrnes Reg'lar Fellers strip from 1934

Twin Earths Daily from  February 1962, i dont know why i just had to have this one. Something about it (and yeah maybe 2 somethings if im being honest) said buy me and frame me. I still think Al Williamson or FF worked on it with AMcW.

Rube Goldberg from 1913.  Sorry it is just a cell phone snapshot.  David

Very nice. What's your connection to Carol Day if you don't mind me asking?

Just came across it on eBay and the CAF and liked what I saw. Later on, I found the ebooks on Amazon.
