Metropolis Collectibles is proud to announce their eBay auctions of an extraordinary collection of original artwork.

Leading the grouping is a Snoopy illustration drawn by Peanuts creator, Charles Schulz.  Peanuts is one of the great American pop culture creations of the past century, and Schulz is universally admired as one of the finest-ever American cartoonists. This extraordinary find is a large, beautiful piece personally drawn by the master himself of his most enduring creation, the loveable, mischievous beagle named Snoopy!

The collection at auction also includes a large grouping of DC Bronze and Silver Age original comic art, including an amazing lot of 74 classic Bronze-era DC War pages from the great Sam Glanzman and Russ Heath!

Rock and the compelling Haunted Tank, in mortal combat with the Nazi menace in the throes of WWII — PLUS a rare find: a complete eight page story from Our Army at War issue 226 (see first image)!
