Description
Here is a very scarce Rick Griffin poster that highlights the artist's surf imagery. This original poster reproduced the centerfold from Griffin's Tales from the Tube Comix. It incorporates vivid and colorful cartoon panels that feature Griffin's alter-ego, the cartoon hero Murphy. Murphy was an early creation of Rick's. One of his first art projects was his surfing comic strip, Murphy for Surfer magazine in 1961, with Griffin's character featured on the front cover the following year. For the next 2 decades, the artist would often return to surfer related graphics within his large body of work. This is not an easy original poster to find, in any condition.Â
