STORED FOR THE LAST NEARLY FORTY (40) YEARS IN OUR DARKENED WAREHOUSE, THEY ARE STILL WITH THEIR ORIGINAL, BRIGHT, COMPLETELY UN-FADED COLORS-- AS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL CONDITION AS YOU WILL EVER FIND. THIS NEARLY CONSECUTIVE RUN OF 49 STRIPS IS MISSING ONLY THREE: #2206 (5/19/79) and #2208-2209 (6/3-6/10/79).I HAVE SEVERAL YEARS OF RUNS OF THIS STRIP, FROM 1972 TO 1984-- ORDER SEVERAL FOR ADDITIONAL MINOR DISCOUNTS REFLECTING SHIPPING COST SAVINGS.I HAVE SHOWN ONLY THREE REPRESENTATIVE PICTURES: THE FIRST STRIP OF EACH RUN, THE LAST STRIP OF EACH RUN, AND AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE RUN, TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF JOHN CULLEN MURPHY'S ARTISTIC STYLE.THE REVERSE OF EACH OF THESE STRIPS ALSO CONTAIN THE TOP STRIP OR TWO FROM THAT NEWSPAPER PAGE-- IN THIS CASE, EXAMPLES OF MOSTLY "WIZARD OF ID", AND "B.C.". NOTE: NEARLY ALL THE STRIPS IN THE RUN ARE IN NM-MINT CONDITION-- HOWEVER, THEY WERE CUT FROM SUBSCRIPTION COPIES OF THE NEWSPAPER THAT WERE MAILED TO ME IN MICHIGAN, SO A VERY FEW MAY HAVE MINOR TEARS, MINOR RIPPLING/CREASING, ETC. PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT I CUT THEM OUT GENEROUSLY-- LEAVING EVEN LARGER MARGINS THAN THE PHOTOS SHOW-- SO IF ANY DO HAVE DEFECTS, MOST CAN BE EASILY TRIMMED OUT WITHOUT IMPINGING ON THE ARTWORK.
