Over on Bleeding Cool I commented on their report of this item "...this was a paid-for message by IPC. It occupied the centrespread of the 1978 UK Comicon booklet, which I edited. The cover was a Frank Bellamy cowboy. Brian Bolland also did all the colour separations for the book."
I found that very convention booklet yesterday! I'm going to scan pics from it very soon and put them up on www.waitingfortrade.com There's some great stuff in it. Watch out for 'It came from The Box...'
The original art for this was sold via auction recently (went for just over $2k). Hi-res image hopefully viewable via the link: http://comics.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7054&lotNo=92035&type=wlem
How did i miss this? Im signed up to HA as well! The only reason im not 100% totally gutted, it that Mick's art on this, is a stat only and not original.
