HARVEY ARCHIVES: Proofs For Dagwood 99 - Little King, Blondie, Cookie 1959
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1858668 | Main Character: Blondie & Dagwood |
| Publisher: Harvey |
The term “HARVEY ARCHIVES” is used here for an ongoing series of eBay auctions with various promotional, file copy, production artwork, proofs and esoteric behind-the-scenes items, all of which originated from the files of Harvey Comics. Every auction with the “HARVEY ARCHIVES” title has something acquired personally by me during the last 20 years, either from Heritage in box lots, or directly from Harvey family members who sold things privately and via eBay.
THIS AUCTION:Si...x identical sets of black and white proofs, plus one set of color separations, for interior of Dagwood #99 (April 1959). Black ink on bright white glossy enamel paper. Sheets measure about 19.25 x 25.5 inches. Flats #3 to 8, with four pages on each, for a total of 24 story pages. Each large sheet is folded in half, with some edge wear and minor creasing. Proofs like these—with black ink on heavy paper—were made for archival purposes and with future comic book reprints in mind. Just six sets were made of the black plates, and only one set with the black/blue/red/yellow separations, and this is all of it.
Set #1 (of the six) has a panel neatly clipped out, while another set has heavy crease on one sheet (see picture).
Stories are of Blondie, Dagwood and their family, plus Colonel Potterby and the Duchess, and The Little King.
Please be sure to check my other auctions for more amazing Harvey rarities.
Shipping is well-packed USPS Priority Mail with tracking and insurance included. This lot is from a group that will end over the course of two consecutive evenings. If you win more than one auction, I will combine shipping from both nights, so please wait for an invoice.
SALES TAX: State sales tax is charged on all orders shipped within Wisconsin. Based on applicable tax laws, eBay may calculate, collect and remit sales tax for buyers in other states.
