DescriptionI don’t really know much about comic daily strip original art, I received this as an extra bonus from the vendor.It’s a fun piece featuring the title character, Buz Sawyer, from John Celardo’s run on King Features Syndicate, 9-21-88. It’s my first Comic Daily Strip original art. Two fun things about it, first the older lady in the second panel really stands out and captures a certain era, my eyes seem really drawn to her more caricature style. Secondly, the backside of this truck has an imprint burned in likely from being stacked together with other piece. I added this image. Please feel free to tell me anything more or fun history with this kind of art, from this series or creator. Social/Sharing |

Nice bonus! Celardo is known mainly for his Tarzan strips, which he did a plethora! This was done on Duotone board for shading special effects, so you're seeing the bleed through on the backside from the chemical applied.

Looking at your additional image closer, I do believe you are right about the image being transferred from another strip. Maybe he stacked these before fully dried?

Fantagraphics put out a few volumes of the initial Roy Crane strips from the 1940s. I picked up the first two volumes on a lark eight years ago and thought they were decent. I had no idea until a certain dealer started giving these away that the strip continued in the 1980s as I can safely say that my local newspaper wasn't carrying it then. Celardo's work looks nice here, but your guess is as good as mine as to whether the strip was worth reading in 1988.

If you have a lot, then be careful with handling these too much. It gave one dealer an allergic reaction and they had to wear gloves for a while. The acidic properties of the developer solution remain after they are dry which is the reason when stacked, the image transfers onto another duo tone board.
