1956 LOU CAMERON CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED ORIGINAL ART PAGE 8 THE COUNT MONTE OF CRISTO COMIC BOOK

Original Art Page for Classics Illustrated #3 (HRN 135) The Count of Monte Cristo. We believe it is the second version of The Count of Monte Cristo published by Gilberton in 1956, not the first version from the 1940's, but we do not have the issue to check, so the page is sold as pictured. There is a note written on the back in pencil that says "1951 Lou Cameron #5 Count of Monte Cristo", but that date does not seem to be accurate. This is Pg. 8 from the issue, and is an awesome dramatic page, with a great large almost 1/2 splash in the first panel, with great character depictions and intense drama. It is done on large size art board which measures approximately 15" by 22". Please note there is a 1" edgewear tear in the board at the top right side edge (blank border margin area only, it does not affect any artwork), and there is a pasteup missing at the top middle edge. There is also some general handling wear around the edges and paper aging, but the page still displays very nicely. A visually outstanding page from the classic series. Don't miss out on this awesome historic original art piece, which would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed.
