Vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait, looking dapper in his prime, boldly signed and inscribed in turquoise felt-tip pen in his later years. In good condition, with the "T" in "To" in the dedication a tad lighter than the rest of the writing. Best known as the titular hero of the Flash Gordon sci-fi cliffhanger series of the 1930s, athlete-turned-big screen leading man Buster Crabbe was also memorable in the horror classics The Most Dangerous Game (1932) and Island of Lost Souls (1932).
