Description

Ken Strickfaden Original Pencil Sketch. Dynamic, evocative pencil illustration by the legendary Strickfaden of what appears to be a lethal electrical ray gun. Evokes fond memories of both Chandu the Magician (1932), in which Bela Lugosi aimed his diabolical death ray, and the Karloff and Lugosi melodrama The Invisible Ray (1936), in which Karloff unleashed "Radium X." Strickfaden provided the electrical effects for both films! A dramatic "whimsy" from one of Hollywood's all-time special effects giants.
