Uri On – Israeli Superhero – One Page of Original Artwork, and a Set of the Four Published Comic Books
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.
