1979ref. 80667New York: Marvel Comics Group 1979. Wraps. Very good. Issues 1-21 plus issues 23 and 31 and the first Annual 1977. The character Howard the Duck first appeared in Adventure into Fear #19 December 1973 before Steve Gerber spun off the ill-tempered anthropomorphic duck into its own series with the tagline "Trapped in a World He Never Made!" Soon thereafter the Walt Disney Company contacted Marvel over concerns the character infringed on their trademark for Donald Duck. Marvel agreed to a redesign - the major change was Howard would wear pants which is not reflected in this run. In the debut issue Howard is considering committing suicide before finding himself involved in a bizarre adventure where he meets Beverly Switzler and Spider-Man for the first time and faces off against Pro-Rata the Financial Wizard. His adventures are generally social satires while a few are parodies of genre fiction. In Issue #8 January 1977 Howard runs for President. An evil adman takes over the campaign and Howard literally run down by special interests is doomed by a phony sex scandal. Issue #12 September 1977 titled "Deadline Doom" and captioned "Howard at the mercy of his most powerful foe - the incredible creator!" foretells Gerber's own future with the strip. Gerber wrote 27 issues but was removed due to chronic problems with deadlines. His final issue in the series was #27 September 1978. Issue #31 May 1979 announced on its letters page that it would be the final issue of Howard the Duck as a color comic. Howard resurfaced in subsequent series in different forms with special issues and was also the subject of a creative rights lawsuit between Marvel and Gerber which he lost. The comics are overall in very good condition with a small chip to the front cover of Issue #7 and the typical light toning to the contents of most issues. Marvel Comics Group unknown

1962ref. 100442Beverly Hills California July 23 1962. 1962. Fine. - Over 120 words typed on his personal 10-3/8 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide creamy white embossed stationery. Responding to Alan R. Lichter of Temple de Hirsch's request for a statement to be included in a symposium Jack Benny expresses his feelings on Judaism and being Jewish: "The present character of Judaism in America today is vastly different than in the distant past. This difference is not through any change in our belief or scriptures - but by progressive thinking and higher education." He goes on to explain his pride in his "fellowmen" and concludes with "But all this is understandable because our people have survived and will always survive and continue to progress because of their great sense of humor - tenacity - understanding and determination to succeed." Signed in full "Jack Benny". Folded for mailing else fine. Jack Benny appeared on October 26 1964 as a special guest for a benefit for the Temple De Hirsch.

Known for his comic timing he entertained the public on stage radio movies and television shows. Jack Benny often portrayed himself as a miser and off-tune violinist drawing laughter with his long comedic pauses and his signature exasperated "Well!". Beverly Hills, California, July 23, 1962.

1959ref. 170451959. Hergé. Original animation production drawing 1959 created for the early animated adaptation of The Adventures of Tintin documenting mid twentieth century European animation practices and the translation of comic characters into television format. Produced under the supervision of Hergé and within the Belvision studio system the drawing reflects the development of animated serial production following a 1959 agreement with American producer Larry Harmon. The work contributes to research on comics to screen adaptation studio animation processes and the international circulation of European characters through broadcast media in the early television era. Hergé. The Adventures of Tintin. Belvision Studios 1959. Original pencil production drawing on animation paper depicting Tintin in a head and upper torso composition. The sheet includes handwritten production notations in red and black pencil indicating its function within the animation workflow. Such drawings were created as part of the sequential process used to produce animated episodes and were not intended for public distribution serving instead as internal studio materials. The scale of the figure is larger than many comparable production drawings offering a detailed rendering of the character's facial expression and posture. Produced at the outset of Tintin's animated adaptations which aired internationally beginning in the early 1960s on networks including the BBC and North American television this drawing situates itself within the expansion of television animation and the global dissemination of European graphic narratives. The collaboration between Belvision and American producers reflects broader patterns of transatlantic media exchange during this period. Original production drawings provide primary evidence of animation techniques including character modeling and frame development and are often preserved only in limited numbers due to their utilitarian use. Light handling wear with clear image and annotations; overall very good. A well preserved example of early Tintin animation production material. unknown
