Two original ink pages by Alfonso Font, drawn for an adaptation of the classic Jules Verne book 'Michael Strogoff', Courier of the Czar, written 1876.

The pages from this story have never been offered for sale before, these are directly from the publisher many years ago, and have been kept in a private collection until now.

Both pages are full of action and beautiful inking techniques and the original Title is still attached to the first page. This 2 page episode was published in the fantastic British comic Look and Learn.

None of the beautiful artwork is obscured by text boxes or word balloons. The entirety of this artwork has never been seen before, when it was published the text obscured much of the beauty.

An extremely rare chance to own some fabulous early work by the brilliant Alfonso Font, who worked on Tex, Dylan Dog, Taxi, The Black Ace...etc

A great addition to any collection.

Photocopies of the entire story will be included in the shipment for your reading pleasure.

Very good - 2 Original artwork - Size 38 x 50 cm.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
