1961 BOB LUBBERS LONG SAM ORIGINAL COMIC STRIP ART DAILY - STUNNING LONG SAM DEPICTIONS!

Original hand-drawn (penciled and inked) art for the July 26, 1961 daily strip of Long Sam, by the great Bob Lubbers. The strip is in very good condition, with some slight discoloration and staining in the margins, and some use of whiteout in the word bubble areas. The full page is large, measuring approximately 21" by 6 1/2" (which I believe is about standard size for most newspaper strip original art). It features some beautiful images of Long Sam, with a truly stunning large closeup in the middle panel! Outstanding artwork from the great Bob Lubbers, who is well-known for classic work on many major comic strips, including Robin Malone, Secret Agent X-9, Tarzan, and Li'l Abner. Abner's creator Al Capp had conceived of Long Sam as a takeoff of that strip, but it became a very nice strip in it's own right. This is likely one of the best examples you're going to find, with beautiful depictions of the main character in every panel, and great drama.
