This is up for auction on Monday - it's a strip called (I think!) Annie and the art is by Ian Gibson. I've not seen this before and wonder where it appeared? There are a few clues on the artboards but any advice is gratefully received!

The deluxe leatherbound edition of the Frank Hampson biography 'Tomorrow revisited' came with a unique Don Harley painting. I'd love to see more examples of these paintings, so each time I see a copy of this book up for sale from now on I'll add it to this gallery...
