Thirteen original printing plates from some of the most popular comic strips of the 20th century, all from 1971-1973, and unique in that most plates were destroyed after the publication and then re-used. Lot includes plates from five ''Peanuts'' comic strips, including, most notably, the famous strip from 12 May 1971 marking Bob Dylan's upcoming 30th birthday. In this strip, Charlie Brown and Linus echo the feeling of Dylan's generation when they bemoan the fact that Dylan is stepping into his 30s. Lot also includes plates from ''Pogo'', ''Denice the Menace'' and ''Funland''. Magnesium metal plates show the image and text reversed, as required for printing. Plates vary in size, but measures from to 10.5'' x 2'' to 10'' x 7''. In very good condition. Image of Dylan comic strip is for reference only, although a copy can likely be acquired to display with the plate.
