Item Description
Creig Flessel (1912-2008) was a comic book artist, illustrator and cartoonist for magazines ranging from "Boys' Life" to "Playboy." Flessel is noted for his work on the Golden Age Sandman and Shining Knight. Offered here is a lot of 13 pieces (including mailing envelopes) in total, between Flessel and collector and fan Charlie Roberts.
Lot includes -
- Four handwritten letters/notes (two w/same printed Sandman image; art that Roberts commissioned), discussing art commissions and Roberts' interest in Flessel's career as well as San Diego Comic-Con.
- Two personal checks signed by Flessel; dated 1991-1992 w/notes for "Color Cover Recreation 'Adventure' Comics #40" and "'Det. 18' Cover And Sandman/Scavengerman Illo"
- Stiff cardboard folder used in mailing, w/Flessel's signature and address
- July 1992 issue of "Comic Book Marketplace" w/Flessel cover feature and Flessel interview by Roberts
- 9-3/8x14" sheet w/pen and ink original art illustration of Roberts as "Scavenger Man," running alongside Sandman, Roberts telling Sandman he must remember to abide by the rules at Comic-Con, to which Sandman replies "Right, Charlie Roberts, I'm A Gasser, I'll Put 'Em All To Sleep!" This comes w/large mailing envelope bearing Flessel's depiction of Roberts as Scavenger Man, which has been partially colored. Envelope has been hand-addressed and features Flessel's signature at return address.
- 12.75x17" sheet has pen and ink original art caricature illustration of "Charlie Roberts - Alias - Scavengerman" which depicts Roberts in superhero outfit, w/trash picker stick in one hand and a stack of comic pages in the other. This art also comes w/two smaller prints of the art that have been nicely hand-colored by Flessel.
Varying degrees of handling wear/aging. Fine to Exc. A truly unique lot for this Golden Age legend. Charlie Roberts Collection.
