Last night at the Dodgem Logic show (and a lot more on that to come later) , Tony from Knockabout was selling a number of copies of a variety of Alan Moore and Knockabout comics, for people to get signed by Alan Moore and other attendees.

One item that didn't sell but stuck out was this envelope. A collection of all the issues from the Tundra/Kitchen Sink From Hell comic. What was different was their place on history.

They've all been stickered and marked up by Her Majesty's Customs to examine – and were eventually passed. Certain issues of From Hell had been banned by Customs years previously, but it was this reexamination of the complete set that legalised the import of all the issues of From Hell, and the From Hell graphic novel collection that was on its way from Eddie Campbell Comics.

Tony from Knockabout found the issues recently and thought someone might be interested. He thought right. At £100, it was a little beyond my price range – and my space is at a premium now – but for any serious Alan Moore collector, this would be a fine and unique addition to your collection.

Odds are you also have contact details for Tony. If you don't, e-mail me and I'll pass them on.
