Sydney Jordan - Jeff Hawke H3488

Offered here is the original Jeff Hawke daily for H3488 by Sydney Jordan.

This strip comes from the 33rd story arc called 'Anti-Gravity Man' which appeared in the Daily Express from 4 Apr 1965 to 9 Jul 1965 (strips 3396-3504). This story is a curious and eccentric view of man's first steps into space. We find that an Englishman discovered a means of anti-gravity flight and beat the US and Russia to the moon - in a Mini­ Cooper! This daily shows the man taking off in 1928, and telling his colleagues about the first flight.

The original is rendered in pen, brush, and ink with zip-a-tone. It has an image area of 15 x 4.25" on a larger (16.5 x 5.5") piece of 4-ply artboard. The art was done 55 years ago but is in excellent shape; do note that the word balloons were added during production and have discolored some. The original has been signed by Sydney in the lower right; he has also put story notes on the verso.

As always, shipping is not included in the price. I prefer checks and money orders as payment. If you need to use PayPal I need it sent as a "Gift" or "Friends and Family". I apologize in advance if that is an inconvenience.
