Description

The scarce post-Karloff monster

Actor (1899–1973) who, after appearing in a string of westerns, became better known as Frankenstein’s monster after Boris Karloff declined to continue. ALS signed “Glenn,” one page, 6 x 9, May 3, 1972. Letter to Jack Jones. In part: “Have had a bout with the flu got out of the hospital too soon and had to return for too weeks…Jack I appreciate the article very much and thank you for it also you mentioned me doing an introduction in your book, any thing I can do for a friend like you is indeed a pleasure”; and an 8 x 10 magazine photo of Strange as Frankenstein’s monster, signed and inscribed in black felt tip, “To my good friend Jack, my best always, Glenn Strange.” Double-matted and framed side-by-side to an overall size of 21 x 17. In overall fine condition. Strange is uncommon in any form, particularly in images as Frankenstein’s monster; a highly desirable pairing. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
