Towards the end of 1973, after the cease fire, Freaky's creators were arrested under the charges of inciting rebellion and cooperation with Syrian intelligence in an effort to 'harm national morale."

Original Artwork from the first comic book of the Uri On series, the Israeli superhero, alongside a complete set of the four comic books, all that's been published. The publisher is D.N.H. Israel Comics (in the first issue I.C. Israel Comics), 1987. Plot, painting, color and editing: Michael Netzer.
Uri On was the second attempt to create an Israeli superhero. The first was Uri Fink's Sabraman (1978), but the Uri On series - as opposed to Saberman, was printed in full color, marking him as the first local superhero in color.
Michael Netzer was born in Detroit, Michigan, as Michael Nasser, to parents of Druze Lebanese origin. In the 1970s he gained recognition for his work for DC Comics and Marvel Comics. He later embarked on a spiritual journey that led him back to Lebanon, where he witnessed the Israeli invasion of 1982. Nasser fleed to Israel, converted to Judaism, and moved to the West Bank settlement of Ofra where he married and raised a family.
Uri On was conceived during a meeting between Netzer and Uri Orbach - the radio personality who later became right wing politician and served as Minister in the Israeli government, until his death in 2015. Orbach came up with the name of Uri On. The strip was published at the beginning of a peek in comic book popularity in Israel, and was later exhibited in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, together with works by artists such as Dudu Geva, Uri Fink and others.
Offered here is an original illustration of the last page of the first book of the series, a pre-colored version of the page. ?The story tells of an Ultra Orthodox scientist, professor Avrahami - who appears on the last page as well - and features scenes in the Western Wall.
The third issue is incomplete, including only eight uncut pages and the cover. Condition: Mint.

Two posters by Dudu Geva, both featuring the duck, one of Geva's most popular characters. The two posters were printed several years apart from each other. Ani Optimi (I'm Optimistic) was first, featuring the duck marching on a blue background with a knife through his back, coming out of his chest. Geva's signature is on the lower left corner. The poster was designed by Studio Optovsky / Deri.
The second poster, published several years later, expresses the escalation of the situation: the blue background was now red, the duck leans on a crutch, with a pitchfork and skewer piercing his back, and an arrow in his chest, his eyes are bloodshot, one of his teeth missing and he has a scar on his leg. The duck carries a torn flag with a red heart, and the background has a burning city. The title: Adayin Optimi (Still Optimistic). The frame features expressions dealing with love such as "love will win," "A loving heart is a broken heart," "love is as strong as death," and more. Geva's signature is on the duck's left leg.
No date: probably 1980s.
Size: 76x49 cm, 69x49 cm. ?Very good condition.

Seven comic books published by Israeli publishers "Queen Comics," in the 1980s. Two Superman issues - no.3, 4, vol. D; two Spiderman issues - no. 3, vol. C. and no. 4, vol. A; one issue of The Incredible Hulk - no. 3, vol. C; two issues of Star Wars - no. 3, 4, vol. B.
Queen Comics' first publications were probably in 1986. These were the first to introduce to the Israeli public American comic books' superheroes in color. Queen Comics were the first to publish Star Wars and Star Trek, in comic book format. Quality-wise, the publications were somewhat sloppy, and the choice of materials wasn't consistent or reasonable. One such example is that on the cover of the Superman issues, his 'S' is printed inverse.
Apparently about thirty comic books were published by Queen Comics until it ceased activity.
Various sizes and conditions. General condition: very good.

"Science Fiction", a bi-weekly, published in 1958. Only four issues were published. Science Fiction Publishing, Shela Distribution. No date. 36 pages per issue.
Each issue featured a title page in red and yellow with a black and white illustration, and between one and three stories per issue. Issues 2 and 3 also feature a full page illustration.

No connection between the covers and stories published in the magazine.
Some of the stories were published without credit to the author. The only famous author credited was Isaac Asimov, for the short story "The Independent Robot", issue no. 4, probably a translation of the 1942 story "Robot AL-76 Goes Astray". This might well be the first Asimov story ever published in Hebrew. Other authors mentioned are possible pseudonyms, or maybe Israeli writers who adopted English names as was common at the time: Gordon Clay, George Collins and Herbert Mitchel (with credit to the translator, G. Levin).
