George Wunder 'Terry & The Pirates' Original Daily Comic Strip Art Grouping
This premium auction lot features four (4) pieces of original production art by artist George Wunder from his celebrated 26-year run on the classic adventure comic strip Terry and the Pirates. The grouping includes a perfectly consecutive 3-day daily story arc sequence (Story Arc #525) published by the News Syndicate Co., Inc. in January 13, 1957, featuring three distinct George Wunder signatures, detailed Cold War military intrigue, and a sharp pop-culture reference to mid-century shirt advertisements. Complementing this chronological run is a rare unlettered international production panel master marked on the reverse as Story Arc #245, which beautifully showcases Wunder’s iconic, hyper-detailed cross-hatching technique over a high-society dinner scene with blank speech balloons. Offered in very good to excellent vintage production condition with standard syndicate margins, this multi-era collection represents an exceptional acquisition opportunity for serious Silver Age comic strip and military illustration archivists. Three comic strips measure approx 23 x 7.25 iches, single measures 9.5 x 7.5 inches.
