Times Syndicate, 1980) An exceptionally key and special strip, this daily, by superstar artists Dave Stevens and Rick Hoberg, contains one of the earliest printed appearances of fan-favorite The Empire Strikes Back character, bounty hunter Boba Fett, whose first print appearance came in Marvel Super Special #16 The Empire Strikes Back. His first actual comic book appearance did not occur until the December, 1980 issue of Marvel's Star Wars #42, and his first newspaper strip appearance was in the June 16th episode, just five weeks prior to this strip. Is it coincidental that Dave Stevens' Art Deco Rocketeer has an uncannily similar appearance to Boba Fett? Hmm... Done in ink over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 14" x 4.5", the strip is in Excellent condition, with production tape in the corners.

Heritage Auctions, the world’s largest auctioneer of comic and comic art, is collaborating with The National Cartoonists Society and major strip syndicators to support The National Cartoonists Society Foundation’s Thanks + Giving,” a unique auction of original artwork. The 130-lot [Thanks&Giving Auction benefiting Hurricane Relief]( opens Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, and will close Nov. 30 at [HA.com/NCS](. Syndicated and non-syndicated artists alike were invited to donate their original comic strips from Thanksgiving Day to the online auction. They have asked those cartoonists who now work only digitally to either return to pen or ink for the occasion or to raid their archives for a suitable piece of art to donate. “This auction brings together four of the comic art world’s largest organizations to raise awareness and relief for disaster victims across the country,” said Jim Halperin, Co-founder of Heritage Auctions. “The entire cartooning community wants to make a difference.” More than 125 internationally-renowned creators have donated original artwork, including Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Lynn Johnston (For Better or For Worse), Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), Cathy Guisewite (Cathy), Jeff Keane (The Family Circus), Al Jaffee (MAD Magazine), Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman (Zits), Rick Kirkman (Baby Blues), and many other well-known creators.

Many of the strips will appear in papers across the country on Thanksgiving Day with a message directing readers to the auction website where they can bid on the original art for that strip, along with the other unique pieces in the auction. “Cartoonists are blessed to have the ability to make people laugh or inform their opinions with our little doodles on paper,” said Bill Morrison, NCS President. “But we’re so much more gratified to be able to give aid and comfort to people in desperate, possibly life-threatening situations through the mere sale of our original art.” Additional partners include King Features Syndicate, Andrews McMeel, Creators Syndicate, and The Washington Post. All proceeds from the auction will be sent to [Direct Relief]( a charity that specializes in providing humanitarian aid to victims of natural disasters. Direct Relief’s work earns wide recognition from independent charity evaluators, including a 100 percent fundraising efficiency rating from Forbes, the No.1 spot on Charity Navigator’s list of the “10 Best Charities Everyone’s Heard Of,” and inclusion in Fast Company’s list of “the world’s most innovative nonprofits.” The 130-lot [Thanks&Giving Auction benefiting Hurricane Relief]( opens Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 23, and will close Nov. 30 at Heritage Auctions.

The Rolland Collection is home to a variety of collectible automobiles including Indianapolis race cars, midget race cars from the 1950’s and custom hot rods. The auction’s hand-selected lots offer collectors a unique opportunity to purchase these high-performance vehicles with impeccable provenance – all of which will be offered without reserve. “This is a unique opportunity for Leake to partner with Heritage Auctions to present The Rolland Collection,” said Richard Sevenoaks, president of Leake Auction Company. “If you are an avid race fan, this is a rare chance to own a piece of history.” The history of The Rolland Collection is well known among historians and collectors alike. During the 1950s, car enthusiast William Rolland joined the Shadoff Chrysler team to help construct one of the fastest vehicles ever built. The team set a world land speed record in their class at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. To this day, Rolland still has a passion for performance and speed, both of which are preserved in his private automobile exhibit museum established in 2010. The automobiles offered in the auction come directly from the museum’s holdings. Top lots include a [2001 Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge]( a purpose built factory racecar from the world greatest car manufacture, and a [2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren](. The McLaren was built as a collaboration between the multiple world championship-winning Formula 1 team and legendary auto manufacturer Mercedes-Benz AMG. With a 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds and a top speed of over 205 mph, the SLR is an icon of super car world. Rolland’s collection offers speedsters, such as a [1933 Ford Alloway]( and a [2006 GDT Speedster]( and an extraordinary selection of hot rods and roadsters including a [1920 Ford Model T-Bucket]( and a [1932 Ford Custom Roadster]( in a striking purple finish. A collector’s class of six midget racers including a [1947 Hillegass]( signed by racing legends Mario Andretti and Tony Stewart, a [1950 Kurtis-Kraft]( raced by Tommy Caruso and rare, [1972 Quarter Midget Dirt Track Car]( will cross the auction block. A unique collection of Indy race cars features a [2000 Dallara]( driven by Mark Dismore and completed in all nine races of the 2000 Northern Light Series as well as a second [2000 Dallara]( driven by Scott Sharp in all nine races of the 2000 Northern Light Series. The selection also includes a [1997 Dallara with an Energizer Body]( a [1980 Grant King Race Car]( that was driven by Jim McElreath in the Indy 500 in 1979 and 1980 and a [2004 Lola B020/00 Cosworth XFE](. A stunning [1941 Willys Coupe]( finished in a striking orange paint job with hand painted flames and powered by a 355 CI V-8 engine, is expected to generate intense bidder interest. “This auction is a first for Heritage Auctions,” said Jim Halperin, Co-Founder of Heritage Auctions. “It’s an exciting combination of Leake Auction Co.’s 45-year history in the collector car market and Heritage’s Auctions’ more than 1 million bidder members.
