Rare Tarzan Full Week Proof Sheet By J.D. McFarland

This Lot Includes:
TARZAN Original Publisher's Proof Page, 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 Of Six Consecutive Tarzan Daily Strips Includes Big Apes, Along With Tarzan and Korak, Son Of Tarzan, and Jane (or if you prefer Lady Greystoke!) all top icons of the Lord of the Jungle.  Blank on reverse except for "this paper manufactured by Kodak", on thin white stock, large size, at 8.5" x 17", these were the last step before the week of newspaper comics was produced. 
 
Readers of the once-ubiquitous print papers often termed the comic section as the funny papers or funny pages, and Tarzan was a staple, also appearing in books, radio, comic-books, and films.
 
 Date is unknown, appears Golden-Age to Silver-Age to me; In any case 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 Tarzan material or comic-strips or unique paper ephemera or 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 in 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 Price Guide and CVM and Comic 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.
 
These are the actual PUBLISHER'S PROOFS, blank on the reverse, on premium stock.  You get SIX comic strips for one low price, each a consecutive day of Tarzan and Korak heroics, including a few with the shapely love interest, Jane.  The editorial and creative staff reviewed and approved them for use, to make sure there were no errors or needed improvements, before the papers 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 1970 are notoriously rare.
 
This piece is 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, showing the upper area and also images of the bottom three strips, so you can see how sharp these lines really are. Some minor corner/edge dings, but only in the outer margin, well outside the panels. As with all, there is the normal horizontal fold line across the center margin.  This is a great looking showpiece which would be especially impressive framed!
 
As Usual: LOW BUY-IT-NOW, AND NO RESERVE!
