He is most well known for his work on the DC Comics character Superman. A freelancer, Breeding worked for both DC and Marvel Comics during his career, penciling covers and stories here and there, but mostly focusing on “finish inking” over breakdown layouts.

Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following memorabilia:
Charles Schulz original hand-drawn ”Peanuts” comic strip, published 24 January 1953. Having debuted as a character in September 1952, this is one of Linus Van Pelt’s earliest appearances, even shown without his signature blanket, which wouldn’t debut until 1954. Although Linus was also non-verbal until 1954, he does make a ”MEOW!” sound here to get Snoopy to move out of his way so he can watch TV. Strip measures 28.75” x 6.5”. Some light foxing and discoloration, and very faint tracing in pencil over parts of Snoopy. Overall very good condition. Sold for $79,585.
One of the greatest pieces of artwork by Hal Foster in his career, the original artwork for the 120th ”Prince Valiant” Sunday comic strip from 28 May 1939. In this instantly recognizable piece — featured on the cover of Fantagraphics’ ”Prince Valiant Vol. 2: 1939-1940” and in numerous ”Prince Valiant” publications — Val sees the foreboding castle of Andelkrag in person, surrounded by Huns as they prepare to attack it. The six panel strip measures 26” x 34.5”, (the large Andelkrag panel measures 17” x 21” by itself), with incredible detail showing the seemingly impregnable fortress, the mountains behind it, the flames roiling up aside it and Prince Valiant standing upon a hillside, gazing at its beauty and enormity. In this strip, Val makes his approach and plunges into the river moat at darkness, to find a fire-raft built by the Huns in order to destroy Andelkrag’s bridge. As Prince Valiant destroys their handiwork, the Huns vow revenge in return. Artwork is signed by Foster on the second panel, inscribed to ”Edward W. Larson / with friendly greetings / Hal Foster”. With King Features Syndicate, Inc. label on fifth panel, with 1939 copyright. The date of 28 May 1939 appears on the fourth panel, along with ”120”, the number of this Prince Valiant strip in the life of the series. Artwork is mounted to board and matted to a size of 33” x 41.5”, with matting strips separating the panels. With minute amount of soiling, artwork is in near fine condition. Accompanied by the color newsprint of this artwork and two ”Prince Valiant” books featuring this strip. Sold for $70,461.
Special ”Peanuts” original comic strip, hand-drawn by Charles Schulz for publication on 16 December 1957. Strip is one of the rare examples of Schulz meticulously recreating a musical score by Beethoven, in this case Piano Sonata No. 1. Schroeder whistles the Sonata to call in Snoopy for dinner, who trots in on four legs rather than two, a hallmark of the early ”Peanuts” strips. With United Feature Syndicate label on first panel, strip measures 29” x 7”. Mild toning, overall very good to near fine condition. Sold for $58,954.
Original Sunday ”Peanuts” comic strip, hand-drawn by Charles Schulz. In this ”April showers” themed strip, published 26 April 1970, Snoopy, Woodstock and Peppermint Patty get caught in a downpour, but then little Woodstock is further harassed by a flowing rain gutter. Strip measures 24” x 17”, inscribed by Schulz to Jim Pearson. Near fine condition. Sold for $56,250.
Incredible Robert Crumb original cover art for ”The Complete Crumb Comics”, Volume 6 entitled ”On the Crest of a Wave”, published by Fantagraphic Books in 1991. This fantastic example of original Crumb artwork shows Crumb himself riding the crest of a wave of flesh and humanity, populated with familiar faces from 1960s counterculture, including Jerry Garcia. This piece served as the cover for Volume 6 of a 17 volume exhaustive series of Crumb’s artistic output, with Vol. 6 documenting approximately two years from the late 1960s into the early 1970s. Ink on illustration board, cover measures 13” x 17” with ”The Complete Crumb Comics” header affixed; artwork alone measures 10” x 13”. Artwork is affixed at the top to the backing mat by two pieces of tape, measuring 16” x 20” with mat. Near fine condition. Sold for $41,250.
”Prince Valiant” Comic Strip by Hal Foster From 5 October 1941
Original “Prince Valiant in the Days of King Arthur” strip in two parts, dated 5 October 1941. In this chapter, we witness the wizard Belsatan cast a powerful spell for the return of his wife and its dramatic aftermath (which is “beyond description!”). In earlier action, Belsatan had concocted a scheme to use Val to get rid of his beautiful, but nagging wife, Acidia. The schemed worked, but the wizard soon grew lonely, leading to the action featured in this strip, a fantastic example by Hal Foster, the strip’s creator, working at the absolute top of his game. Foster inscribes the strip to his “favorite comic artist ‘Chick’ Young”. Hand-drawn strip measures 29″ x 15″ and 29″ x 22″. Both parts of the strip are mounted, with very light toning, overall very good to near fine. From the estate of “Blondie” creator, Chic Young. Sold for $27,981.
