For the past 30 years Russ Cochran has been collecting and publishing comic art. Russ Cochran was born in West Plains, Missouri. Without television in the 1940s, Russ developed a passion for comic books. In 1964 Russ earned his Ph.D. in Physics and became the Chairman of the Drake University Physics Department in Des Moines, Iowa. As time passed, Russ felt the desire to become a collector of the comic books he had always enjoyed in his youth. The hobby brought him to his first comic book convention in 1965. Russ pursued a collector’s connection with Bill Gaines, publisher of EC Comics and MAD Magazine. Bill Gaines and Russ Cochran shared a mutual enthusiasm which led to a great friendship. Their relationship inspired Russ Cochran to republish the entire collection of EC comics. In 1975 Russ followed his dream by moving back to West Plains, Missouri while devoting all of his energy toward publishing. Today Russ Cochran’s Auction offers select comic art for those collectors who share his appreciation and nostalgia.

Lot 180 Hal Foster, Tarzan Sunday, 10/22/33, 26 1/2"t x 19 1/2", professionally cleaned and restored. The provenance of this classic Hal Foster Tarzan is like a page from the history of comic art. It comes from the collection of Frank Frazetta, who obtained this original from DC artist George Roussos in the 1950s. Frazetta has often cited Foster as a primary influence. $10,000 - $12,000 |
