Description
Offered here is the original Jeff Hawke daily H7406 by Sydney Jordan. This strip comes from the story 'Messiah", which appeared in the Daily Express from 17 April 1980 until 12 Aug 1980 (strips H7323-7422). The "Messiah" storyline was published in the UK as part of the Lance McLane revival version of the strip, but was often syndicated internationally under the original Jeff Hawke title.

"Messiah" was one of Sydney's later, more adult-oriented "speculative fiction" storylines.
Like many of these later stories, the plot uses the science fiction premise to explore philosophical questions about faith, the nature of salvation, and the human condition. The story begins when an advanced, extra-terrestrial entity appears on Earth and humanity perceives it as a messianic figure. This challenges human beliefs, creating a crisis for established religions and belief, satirizing the idea of a single savior and how humans react to such a figure, contrasting genuine spirituality with fanaticism systems on Earth.

I should add that Sydney incorporated more nudity in these later storylines and the final panel is a beautifully rendered example of this.

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 45 years ago but is in excellent shape; note that the word balloons were added during production and have discolored somewhat. The original was 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. I can accept Zells. However, 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.
