And check out OUR NEWLY LISTED ITEMS. This is an original cover proof for Uncle Scrooge #22, published by Dell in June/August of 1958. This is a full-color printed proof of the cover, including both the front and back covers. It is standard comic book size, and includes the inside front and back covers on the reverse side (see picture 2), also featuring classic Barks art. Please note that this is NOT a mass-produced print or lithograph. It is a cover proof that is created during the production process for the comic, and used internally by the comic company. The proof measures approximately 10 1/4″ by 14 1/4″, and is in very good condition, particularly considering the incredible age of the piece more than 60 years old! The colors are sharp and bold. The cover features probably one of the greatest Uncle Scrooge & Donald Duck images ever, with artwork by the legendary “Good Duck Artist” himself, Carl Barks! This is the famous “Cash Register Bag” cover, with Scrooge McDuck carrying around a cash register on a handle, instead of just a regular bag! To say that this piece is rare would be a truly major understatement. Early Silver Age pieces like this one are very scarce, and a production piece for a cover this classic is practically unheard of. This is one of the more memorable images from the classic era of the funny animal / anthropomorphic comic genres, of which Walt Disney Productions was such a big part. Don’t miss out on a rare chance to get a very cool and rare comic collectible that you will hardly ever get a chance to see. An exceptional and unbelievably rare piece of comic production art, that would look fantastic framed and prominently displayed, and be a true key piece in the collection of any Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, Carl Barks, or Disney fan. Please note that this is an authentic piece from the 1950’s, not something made for a later reprint or collection book. We have been told there are reprint production art pieces being listed by other sellers that make them seem to be old and from original printings, even though they are not for example, older production art did not have the words on a separate sheet from the images. Those kinds of things were only done much more recently, using computer technology. We advise buyers to be careful, as there are disreputable sellers tricking many people into believing they are purchasing items that are older and more valuable than what they actually are. Some sellers simply do not state their items are from reprints, while others make very long listings and put a tiny mention about reprints buried deep in the listing, and/or use a hard-to-read font color (like yellow) to prevent buyers from seeing this information. Unfortunately, everything else in the listing the title, pictures of the cover of the comic from the 1st printing, etc. This item is a genuine proof from the’50’s, not something made for a reprint.
