Mark Landis before he began tricking museums by donating carefully copied or forged art pieces he created - spent a short period forging mainly Golden age and older comic book, comic strip and sci fi illustration art for trade to collectors. A group of collectors convinced him to stop the practice. Most of the Landis forgeries were hopefully destroyed in the process. I saved several because their packages had been opened and documented before federal authorities who would have proceeded with a case against him if it had not been resolved outside of the justice system. They are still kept as evidence in case he should ever decide to forge this type of art again. I will add to the gallery as I unpack and find various originals or reproductions of them as some may still be in circulation and unidentified and he often did multiple copies of single covers! We are not sure exactly how many forgeries were done but the number is probably over 25. The experience is something we need to learn from though these days with the net there are a lot more resources than we had in the 1980s.
