Make sure to BOOKMARK OUR EBAY STOREADD US TO YOUR FAVORITES LIST and check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS This is an incredibly rare original metal printing plate for Sparkler Comics #29, published in 1944. It is for a page featuring the legendary Sunday Newspaper comic strip Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs, with art by Burne Hogarth. Please note that the title lettering, as well as the rest of the strip is in reverse, since printing plates have the image reversed from how it will lo...ok once the final product is printed. The plate measures approximately 6 1/4" by 9". The plate looks to be in very good condition, and appears to be complete. There are small drill holes at the top middle left edge and bottom right edge. The plate is a thick sturdy metal piece. Since it is difficult to see the detail from a scan, we have provided multiple camera pictures with the flash on, so you can see some of the detail with light and at an angle. When looked at directly and without light hitting it, the plate has a darker appearance (dark grey/black), and the first picture is a direct scan in the scanner. We have heard that years ago, they may have actually melted down and recycled printing plates in order to re-use materials and save money. So there may not be many surviving plates, which would of course make this piece even rarer.This is a very cool and rare comic collectible that you will hardly ever get a chance to see. Considering the price of original art for Tarzan Sundays from the era, this is a much more reasonable way to own a piece of production art featuring one of the greatest action and adventure strips in American history. This is a fantastic piece that would look amazing prominently displayed, and would be a key piece in the collection of any Tarzan or Golden Age comic book fan.
