Rare Betty Boop Full Week Comic Strip Proof By The Walker Brothers

This Auction Includes:
BETTY BOOP AND FRIENDS Original Publisher's Proof, These Only Were Made To Proof The Week's Comics Before They Came Out In The "Funny Pages", Never Intended To Reach The Public! This Sheet Was For November 9 Through November 14, 1987, Featuring ZORRO In A Couple Panels. In The First Strip Betty Boop IS A MUMMY! Blank on reverse, on thin white stock, large size, at 8.5" x 17", these were the last step before a newspaper comic was produced. Readers of the once-ubiquitous print papers often termed the comic section as the funny papers or funny pages, and Betty Boop was a staple, also appearing in books, radio and film.
Copyrighted by KING FEATURES SYNDICATE, NEW YORK, in 1987, and it's very well preserved, supple and extremely clean, with incredible eye-appeal: Very high-quality paper was used. Snow-white whites and cystal clear lines. This is a must-have piece of comic history for any fan of vintage Betty Boop material or comic-strips and unique paper ephemera, or of original production art to old comics & licensed merchandise or premiums, or just the serious comic ephemera collector or comic-art fan who likes having true rarities but cannot afford to shell out four-figure$ for the black & white line art of the era!
NOTE: We have many production pieces to vintage comic-books running on ebay now! Some of you long-term collectors have dealt with us over the pre-ebay years through our many ads in C.B.M. and Combo and Wizard and C.B.G.
(Comic Book Marketplace and Comics Buyer's Guide and Overstreet and CVM and Comics Source, etc.)
Since those days, we've been on ebay for almost twenty years and have earned a reputation as secure packagers and prompt shippers so expect to be pleased.
This is the actual PUBLISHER'S PROOFS of the week's daily comic strips, blank on the reverse, on premium stock. You get SIX comic strips for one low price, each a consecutive day of Betty cartoon hilarity, including one with Betty as a NAVY GIRL, and the mentions of Rodeo Drive and Beverly Hills! The editorial and creative staff reviewed and approved them for use, to make sure there were no errors or needed improvements, before the paper hit the press. Additional comic art can now be found by checking the Key Comics ebay store (user ID: keycomics). Buy aggressively, as such items are extremely scarce if not one-of-a-kind, and production pieces from before 1990 are notoriously rare. They are too large for our scanner, so I took digital pictures, including one next to a comic for scale, but I'm no photographer... (NO COMICS are included, this is for the production artwork only!) I also took scans, one showing the upper area and also one of the bottom three strips, so you can see how sharp these lines really are. Just some minor edge and/or corner bumps, all well outside the panels. This is a great looking showpiece which would be especially impressive framed! As Usual: LOW BUY-IT-NOW, AND NO RESERVE!
