The Untold Story (Signed) (Limited Edition)
CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL. Frans 'the fox' Leeflang, Davido 'sorted' Howarth. Leeflang-Howarth Ink, 1946. This VERY LIMITED edition introduces two unsung heroes who have become the key movers and cocktail shakers in the field of British comics. Their unqualified knowledge of the genre is matched only by book-keeping brilliance and dogged organizational flair. Their art is always sought after, but never by the cognoscenti. Yet their pencil strokes are sharp, and they have acquired a biro-centric art paradigm that allows their luminous personalities to shine through. Although Woolly Jumpers have - with remorseless enthusiasm - enhanced their output, the heady mix of untutored talent is indubitable. A fascinating tome for all fans of the unknown, and especially recommended for the professional connoisseur. Rare edition, slight yellowing. Too many pages. Very Hard Cover Grey 2" x 4"

Our Price: £12.34 ($19.74) (€16,04)
