My recent acquisition. I managed to get a second copy of a very rare and unusual movie poster by Milton Glaser for "Alex in Wonderland” from 1970.

"Cisco Kid' by Jose Luis Salinas
I recently acquired these two partial daily comic strips of Cisco Kid by Jose Luis Salinas from 1952. It is beautiful to see on Salinas' originals, how gently and easily, without any “suffering" he applied the ink with the stroke of a brush, without needing any corrections.
These two partial panels are from the story called Deadly Stage Ride. The panels are probably partial because, believe it or not, at that time it was common practice for the syndicate to cut the strips and send a panel or two to, for example, fans who wrote and asked. Looking through the Cisco Kid book trying to find how the complete comic strip looks, I was quite pleased to find that on the top of the page of one of them is a comic strip that I already have. Pure coincidence.

Modesty Blaise by Neville Colvin
When one says Modesty Blaise, the first thing that comes to mind is the iconic artwork of Jim Holdaway. Unfortunately, the work of Neville Colvin gets overlooked.
I recently acquired two strips from a Neville Colvin comic from 1984. The first frame in both strips are excellent examples of Colvin’s craftsmanship. He is bleeding random brush and pen strokes, which almost brings the drawing to a level of abstraction. But at the same time, everything is there.
Here is a link to my previous acquisition of Modesty Blaise by Colvin.
