Some Original Dave Gibbons Watchmen Sketches

Here are some recent arrivals to the Little Shop, and though I'm always open to offers, I've yet to decide if I actually want to sell these, as they're rather marvellous.

The Comedian, Doctor Manhattan and Rorschach, as drawn by Watchmen co-creator and all-round lovely gent Dave Gibbons, at the UKAC comics convention in the mid-90s.

Hurm!

UPDATE: SIGH. IT TURNS OUT I WAS HAD. CONFIRMATION FROM AN IMPECCABLE SOURCE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.

Alice in Wonderland: Illustrations by Frank Adams

As is often the way with nice-looking books I photograph for this blog, this sold before I got the chance to post the pictures, so if you fancy this rather lovely edition of Alice in Wonderland, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Published circa 1912 by Blackie, it would originally have had a dust jacket, though the decorations on the boards (probably designed by Talwin Morris) are pretty enough. There are just four illustrations, but they're crackers. Artist Frank Adams doesn't merit too many hits online it appears, though you can buy an original watercolour book illustration by him here for £1500 if you feel so inclined. The two illustrations on offer are not Alice ones, alas. I bet they would be priced significantly higher if they were.

Anyway, here's the book that sold yesterday...
