MASSIVE COMIC ART & THE WALKING DEAD MEMORABILIA COLLECTION
Pending Consignment with ComicConnect
An extraordinary multi-generation collection bringing together vintage newspaper comic art, signed illustrations, Beckett-authenticated pieces and highly collectible Walking Dead memorabilia.
This is not an ordinary comic-book lot. It is a wide-ranging archive of original and vintage artwork connected to recognized cartoonists, historic newspaper features and one of television’s most successful comic adaptations.
COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
• Vintage full-color Gasoline Alley artwork/page dated September 15, 1946 and attributed to legendary Gasoline Alley creator Frank King

• Additional comic-art and supporting pieces shown throughout the photographs
This collection crosses several major areas of collecting: classic newspaper comics, original illustration art, sports editorial cartoons, superhero artwork, television memorabilia and signed Walking Dead material.
The vintage artwork displays age-appropriate toning, handling wear, staining, edge wear and other evidence of its working and archival history. These characteristics are visible in the photographs and are consistent with artwork and newspaper-production materials of this age.
AUTHENTICATION DISCLOSURE:
Only the specific pieces accompanied by Beckett Authentication Services documentation or bearing verifiable BAS certification labels are being represented as Beckett authenticated. Other signatures and artist attributions are offered based upon the available markings, inscriptions and collection information and are not represented as independently authenticated unless specifically stated.
