I can't be that kind. I think they are fan pieces either done for
their self or for the act of selling them as "authentic pieces" to
find a sucker.
sadly, ebay is rife with fake comic art, illustration and even fine
masters paintings. some guy bought an "authentic Da Vinci" drawing on
ebay last year for $1500.. any fool could see it was garbage.
ebay is a facilitator with this crap..
Right now there are probably 50 forgeries of comic art sketches and
pieces by Frazetta, Charles Schulz, Chester Gould, Jack Kirby, Berke
Breathed, George Herriman, bob kane, Joe Shuster and scores of
others. It is a continuous problem and ebay can't do much about it.
Frequently the descriptions are like "found in my grandfathers attic"
with a text somewhere in the listing "I cannot authenticate this
piece so it is being sold as in the style of...."
here are some fakes (note, these sellers all sell fakes) and almost
all have sold with multiple bids to unlucky collectors

Agree with Grey here..they look like locally produced pieces, based
directly on the original poster artwork.
The IHON imagery is a bit off, imo.. especially Gable's image. It
doesnt quite capture him totally.
Both are very colorful and tried representations of the original
poster art, however.
