Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Note that we have provided several images from this pressbook, always including the cover and the poster pages, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Note that we are auctioning 74 pressbooks in this Part II of our March Major Auction. 62 of those come from a single collector who was attempting to assemble EVERY pressbook from movie serials that were based on either comic book or comic strip characters, and he spent many decades doing so, and he came very close to getting every one there is! These include many that we have never auctioned in all our years of auctioning, and may well never auction them again! This is a very rare opportunity for collectors to acquire these ultra rare pressbooks (which are even more rare than the posters from these same serials, likely because they were sent to very few theaters, and likely most of those theaters immediately threw them out). If one started to try to assemble a similar collection without purchasing any of these pressbooks, they would likely spend many years before they could acquire even a small percentage of them. That is how rare these are! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. There is tiny pencil writing to the lower right of the cover. There was a tiny collector's name stamp to the right of the title in the background and someone put a thin strip of tape over that area. There are scuffs in the bottom left of the cover. The covers are partially separated at the spine. Other than the above defects, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
