Quite by chance, I came across an interesting auction of Original Comic Art on Catwiki which ends tomorrow but includes a few items by British creators and a huge range of art by some well known European artists, including an “Axa” strip by Enrique Badia Romero and a “Robot Archie” page by Ernest Kearon, from Lion.
The auction landing page is here and bidding (registration required) ens at 8.00pm tomorrow. shipping is from Belgium, so bear in mind that is an extra cost.
