That's really a "key-page" in the story of Pravda. Pellaert is still not well known to comic fandom and thus an under-estimated comic artist. And this truly a shame.
Exciting! You said "a vintage page from 1967", which seems so far in time ... but actually the "spirit" of this page seems to come directly from the platinum age of comics, with that "crude", almost prehistoric, trait of the first Crumb. Awesome piece.
This is stunning ! Ferri made only one mistake: live in Italy. If he had moved to USA now we could talk of a world famed camic artist
This page, and the previous one, are great addictions to your gallery. This one, in particular, shows a masterly wotk of lights and shadows.

This is a great page indeed... I agree. But also, this is a great collection too. And for what I've seen we share the same passions... and artists.
Nothing to say ! Though Rip is missing... nevertheless this is a striking stip.
I like very much Floyd Gottfredson. It was the counterpart of Carl Barks, talking of a long career working on mouse and duck... Congrats for the huge Disney collections.
Un bel Brick d'annata, che noi in Italia, da giovanissimi, leggevamo sugli albi Spada sotto il nome di "Bat Star". Un bel tuffo nella memoria. Grazie Ciro per il post.
Wow ! This is the first Bill Ward's artwork where titties are not in atomic-size and neither popping-out. A fantastic find ! Congtats
A great Tim Sale page that features his particular "eye", like a movie frame..
Rob, You know... this kind of Krazy Kat pages are really dangerous for collector health... You should put an alert for those too weaky at heart...
Belle le donne di Baldazzini ! Ne ho anch'io qualcuna e prima o poi posterò.
Yes ! Thanks god (and Robert Pistella as well...) ... And you were among those who supported me at the time! Thanks
Grande il Lovercraft di Breccia ! L'aggiunta del colore che apparentemente "ammorbidisce" la drammaticità del bianco/nero, in realtà aggiunge il pathos che appunto deriva proprio dal rapporto psichico ed empatico con il colore a volte usato in modalità espressioniste. Breccia dimostra qui di aver letto ed assotbito la "teoria del colore" di Goethe... E' una delle sue cose migliori. Ho anch'io una pagina da questa storia e penso che appunto prima o poi la posterò.
In this comic fandom over-sized of super-heroes, in a landscaped with skyscrapers made of tons of comic-books splash-pages... well to see only eight comments for such a masterpiece of one of the fathers of comics is really, really depressive... I think that among those who came after Raymond only Frazetta, Williamson and very few others have reached a kind of quality like the Master. Rob... a museum piece.
Great job Lorenzo ! But maybe you're in the wrong place... You should exhibit your artworks in the art galleries ! Bravo.
Wow! Yhis is a great daily with the girl in the secon panel that is a typical beauty of the 40s. A fine addiction to your collection, Jeff
I must admit that Barks' first-sketches-firsts are often much better than the final paintings. In fact, while in the preparatory sketches you still can "feel" tha hand of the artist, the final paintings, instead, show the many touches and re-touches the artist went through in order to obatain the results he wanted to. Thus, the painting looks perfect, but, compared to the sketch, it lacks feelings... At the end, here you can really feel the comic-artist at his best.
Wow ! What a page ! Pete and Gwen in action with a fantastic bottom-page splash-panel.
Me too got fever for this !
Yes, because the character of Ranxerox was originally created by Stefano Tamburini, who drawn it in black and white, and only later Tamburini called Tanino Liberatore for the drawings while he curated the script. By the way, I thinl that "Snake Agent" was too ahead in time...
Really love this comic-artist. Here he shows a great job of dynamic fights.
Thank you Fred, I've checked out and you have a fantastic Wonder Woman gallery with a striking WW pin up by Aaron! (not to mention the two super-girl in your Id picture...)
To Thomas and all friends who wrote about this bad story. The shipping originated in New Jersey and in order to go to Europe instead to go directly to JFK airport was redirected to FedEx headquarter in Memphis (?!) And there the troubles began... This was early October 2015. After dozens of mails by me and also by Robert Pistella eventually on October 29th the shipping was declared "lost". In other words they could not dedicate any more time to search for it... Could be that someday it pop-ups in Bejing or Sidney or in the Death Valley, but nobody will look for it anymore. My hope is that somebody find this parcel, open it and try to sell the strips... End of the story. Thanks for your comments. Maurizio
Thank you Ray. I added on title your suggestion.
Wow Jeff ! This is really a true "pearl" in Moebius art.
As I wrote in the description, I knew that 4 of these illustrations were hung in Raymond's studio. Didn't know which one ! But, thanks to Thomas comment I start searching and I've found this additional picture and... it was amazing to see my piece right there, on the wall of Raymond' studio ! So... thank you Thomas for your comment that suggested me to search....
Great ! We all suspected that Foster was the father of them all... But you, here, show off the proofs ! Please keep posting more...
Capperi ! Non pensavo che Caria avesse anche il tempo di realizzare copertine "osée". Bellissima!
Oh yes. I love comic-related posters too! This is great. But see also mine. I have a lot and I'll post them in few weeks.
You're in good company. The same happened with the covers by Karel Thole for the italian Sci-Fi magazine "Urania". Since the original artworks were scanned se they could well be destroyed. That's to say: the copy is more important than the original ! And this is what we have to expect with the digital point of view...
Gorgeous ! I'm looking for a Ray Moore sunday since years ! But a piece like this is incredible !
We must say that in Italy we were very lucky during the 60s. If you were familiar with all those heros of the 30s, like Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Tim Tyler's luck, Brick Bradford and The Phantom, you had plenty of choice with many comic book series with fantastic colorful covers realised by this great artist still almost unknown: Mario Caria. They really added a hint of fascination to the stories, and it was a pleasure to collect such comic books.
This is striking ! Layout is perfect and also perfect is the Fredricks' Mandrake style. I had this cover. At the time I was familiar with this series, but I'd like to find the original artwork for it!

Wow! This is the real Jungle Jim sunday I was looking for ! Just tell me if you ever sold it.
The panel is a very beutiful one, with all it needs to have in it: Tarzan, the ape, the jungle with its inhabitants and a sign of the civilised world, the airplane. Very good one ! About a complete Foster sunday... do not desperate. World is half to sell and half to buy. When I was a kid I dreamed about to complete my comic-book series. I thoght that world was all in there. And I never suspected that once I could posses at least one original art. Now I have hundreds, mostly vintage ones. So, it's just a matter of time. Everything will happen.
Wow ! I got several Tarzan original comic art but this is really striking. Great layout and superb dynamism. This is what a splash page really means ! If you ever sold it just tell me.
