Kevin O'Neill Estate Sale
Announcing an estate sale of the personal book collection of Kevin O'Neill, taking place on Sunday 1st October 2023, 10.30am - 7pm. Proceeds to benefit the Estate of Kevin O'Neill.
November last year saw the passing of legendary comics artist and longtime friend of Gosh, Kevin O'Neill. Co-creator of such icons as Marshal Law, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and of course Nemesis the Warlock, Kevin's uncanny and angular line could birth sublime horror and delicate beauty at whim. Kevin kindly worked with us on numerous occasions to produce exclusive bookplates and prints, and over that time became a friendly, familiar face to all of us at Gosh. You can read our tribute to his life and work here.
A unique voice in comics, Kevin was a master draughtsman, forging a unique, inimitable style whilst drawing inspiration from a pantheon of well-regarded and lesser-known cartoonists and artists, many of whom he had extensive reference for in his impressive book collection.
On behalf of Kevin's Estate, we will be running a sale of this personal book collection on Sunday 1st October 2023, from 10.30am - 7pm. Kevin's refined taste in comics, art, and esoterica is well and truly reflected in his collection, and this sale offers you an opportunity to not just own something from Kevin's collection, but also in some measure to be educated by a master.
From comics to biographies, penny dreadfuls to art instruction manuals, and reference books to catalogues, there is sure to be something of interest for the discerning fan of Kevin's work and we look forward to seeing you on the day.
Please note that the aim of this sale is to provide the best financial boon to his Estate that we can facilitate. Prices will be as marked, and we will not be discounting on purchases from the collection. We will not reserve titles, nor will there be any mail order or online sales. There will be no original art for sale and staff are not able to provide contact details for the Estate.
