DescriptionThis set of 8 consecutive Alex Raymond's Rip Kirby dailies is most likely the longest-known continuous set of them. If you know longer please let me know ;-)December 9, 1951, was a Sunday and Rip Kirby daily strip was not appearing then in the newspapers. During the past 50 years (since RussCochran's Graphic Gallery) around 10 times, there has appeared 4-6 consecutive dailies, in sales catalogs/auctions, or collectors presenting them. In the summer of 2021 Nouveau Musée National de Monaco had a lavish exhibition of original comic book artwork, it has been so far the best exhibition in Europe. There was presented two sets of 4 consecutive Rip Kirby dailies very close to each other, only 2 dailies were missing between them. The artwork is from the “The Disappearance of Bijou Benson” story, originally run in newspapers from September 24, 1951 – January 26, 1952. This artwork of 8 consecutive dailies has been searched and acquired from 5 different collections from the US and Germany, and it has offered thrilling detective work to put the artwork together. I uploaded earlier set of 4, and then set of 7 consecutive Rip Kirby dailies, you can find them from here: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1874929 I am still keeping them visible once then there is additional pictures with more details (which I can't upload here, it is limited to 6 photos). I just uploaded the latest daily strip panels here (December 11). Thanks a lot again for Thomas helping to get this set together :-) #AlexRaymond; #RipKirby Social/Sharing |

This has been a truly an honor and a fun adventure helping you with these. When you think that these were cast to the wind 67 years after his death, and to be able to put them back together is an amazing feat. Many congrats to you!

The 7th one was mine. If I new you were compiling them I would have charged more! Lol. Seriously, beautiful selection of dailies - and so great to see them in one collection.
