I am now listing one of the most important collections of original art, sketches and autographs to appear on the market from one collector in years--this gentleman collected for over 40 years and was a total fan of popular culture and immersed himself in items of unique interest. He bought his autographs only from 2 respected dealers through the years OR any such avenues that only he could ferret out eclectic pieces. His art and sketches--mostly comic strips, comic pages, sketches, unpublished special pieces, etc. --he obtained from top dealers, artists and fellow collectors. He also would contribute to the Milt Gross Cartoonists charity and was sent special pieces of art in gratitude. He was also a wonderful letter writer and he was able to convey his feelings regarding cartoon art to the artist in a most literate way. Phil was a dear friend and I know that he would want his pieces cared for and appreciated by collectors such as himself. in the next few weeks we will be presenting the PHIL HOWLETT collection.........
