Great page, Dan. Don Martin always makes me laugh as well.

Alex Raymond was such an amazing artist.  I fell in love with his work when I discovered the Flash Gordon hardback collections in the library when I was a kid.  I fell into the wonder and beauty of his alien worlds.  It is exciting to see how his talent translates to a rooftop standoff between agent Kirby and an armed thug.  The tension, the flight, the flying tackle, then the struggle at the end, beautifully framed in the shape created by the silhouette of the policemen.  What a craftsman.

Hi Steven - thanks for your comments. We obviously feel the same way about Raymond's talent.  I would love to own a Flash Gordon Sunday some day - a grail piece indeed!

What was I thinking??? I loved all the elements in this one.  Hope you enjoy as much as I did.  This one almost got framed and put on the wall of forever keepers! Lol

Hi Thomas!  Thanks again for letting this one go - it's a terrific example and I love looking at it. Your Raymond gallery is so impressive - one of my favorite browsing destinations on CAF.

Sequential dailies, strong examples of Gray's dark ink style, and  from an earlier time period: these strips check a lot of boxes, Thomas!

Glad that this piece ended up with you, Mark. Well done.

Hi Sean!  Thanks so much for selling this Dennis daily to me. This one will be in my collection for a LONG time.

My uncle loved antique stores, and he'd always take me to them.  He was a glassware guy.  I'd just root around until I found something made of paper.  Old newspapers, magazines, anything like that.  That was interesting.

Nothing like the smell of old paper.  Thanks Steven.

Great example! Good central early image of Dennis with his parents annoying the bystander. Ha!

Hi Dan!  These early Dennis strips are few and far between. There must be a collector out there who keeps buying the good ones?  I love the Dennis dailies you have posted in your gallery over the years.  Keep them coming!

Great daily! I can empathize with Dennis, I remember going to Antique store and thinking the same thing!

Hi Thomas!  Ketcham was a master at capturing the child perspective. I never seem to tire of these 1950s Dennis comics.

I forget if it was a TV show or a movie, where the character said, "We don't buy antiques, we can afford to get new stuff."  One person's antiques are another person's junk.  I've always loved Dennis the Menace.

Hi Steven, the sad thing is that I now enjoy antique shops just as much as my parents once did although it is always a little unsettling to see things from my childhood being sold as antique. Thanks for your comment!

I love the word "Peace" in Donald's newspaper, which is very much at odds with Donald's expression.  Absolute Barks perfection!

What a beautiful example of Napoleon, very underestimated in my opinon.  

Thanks Thomas! I have another Napoleon Sunday that I need to add to my gallery - McBride's art really shines in the large format of a Sunday page.

Hi Dan!  I love the Wiseman Dennis Sunday you recently added to your collection as well. Wouldn't it be great to see a large-format reprint of these Sundays in book form some day?

This is a great Sunday page. Even as I'm laughing, I can feel the father's anguish. 

Anguish is the perfect description for the final panel. Thanks Earl!

Yeah, these kids moved fast and the trouble they cause was as fast paced as any superhero comic.

Hi Marcus!  I don't have a lot of superhero artwork in my collection, but I always seem to find room for pages like this one. And, if you are a comic book collector, Sugar and Spike is a tough title to collect in high grade. The kids read these books to pieces.

Really neat layout with the grids stuck together from one to two to three as the story progresses.

Hi Marcus, McBride was frequently creative and experimental with his panel layout, but the expressions he renders for the dog are usually my favorite part of the strip.

What better way to make your debut on CAF than artwork from Alex Raymond! Congrats on your daily, thats from a fun storyline. 

Thomas, thanks again for helping me land this cool strip. I also appreciate your encouragement to finally start posting on CAF.  I'm really looking forward to meeting more fellow art collectors!

Wonderful and unique RK daily!  Love the Coyote & Road Runner style action with the boulder drop in the desert

I like your Coyote & Road Runner analogy, and I LOVE the artwork from your avatar. Adding a Frazetta Johnny Comet daily to my art stacks is a top goal for me.

So fun with an Alex Raymond that has perilous drama and a cliffhanger!

Literal cliffhanger!  Thanks Marcus.
