Gosh London still has a limited edition Kevin O’Neill print for sale, commemorating his passing last year. The image features characters from 2000AD, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (which Kevin co-created with Alan Moore), and Marshal Law (co-created with Pat Mills).
“Last November saw the passing of our friend and sometime collaborator Kevin O’Neill, a loss we’re still coming to terms with,” the team at Gosh note.
“As a small act of remembrance, and with all profits going to Kevin’s Estate, it’s our privilege to be able to offer this A3 print, limited to an edition of just 200 copies.
“Kevin originally produced the piece to illustrate an online interview with The Comics Journal, but it was very unlikely to ever see print due to rights issues.
“Our most sincere thanks to Pat Mills, Alan Moore and the good people at Rebellion, who have given us kind permission to print this edition, limited to 200 copies, with all profits going to Kevin’s estate.”
