Comic Art
The eight Buck Rogers covers Frank Frazetta created for Famous Funnies from 1953 to 1955 represent the ultimate pen-and-ink expression of the legendary artist's mature style. This original art, produced for Famous Funnies No. 214, is one of the most striking from that string of covers and the favorite of many collectors. An iconic science fiction image, the work has inspired scores of homages, and Frazetta himself proudly kept the original in his collection his entire life.

Likely purchased by the pipe and matured in demijohn or cask on the estate, this 1815 vintage was bottled in 1910, nearly a century after harvest, and bears the "G.G." mark found in the archival invoice of 200 bottles sold that year to legendary financier J.P. Morgan.
