Sim/Gaiman Auction on Ebay
Running in conjunction with Fiddler's Green is an auction run by the Beguiling to benefit the CBLDF of "Lithograph No. 1: Neil Gaiman" Only 50 copies of the piece have been produced of which Neil Gaiman and Dave Sim have signed and numbered only 2: "#1/50" and "#2/50" and both have written the year,
"2004", adjacent to their respective signatures.
"#1/50" is being auctioned on eBay with the auction closing Friday November 12, 2004 and all proceeds going to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The #2/50 is being raffled at the Fiddler's Green Sandman Convention the
next day.
In the event that neither has been completed by those dates, they will
be FedExed to the winning recipients.
Of those pieces which remain, Sim and Gaiman will both sign—and
Neil Gaiman will complete—one copy in November of each year (i.e.
#3/50 in 2005; #4/50 in 2006) which will then be auctioned on eBay to
benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, by way of illustrating in
as pointed a fashion as possible that even though Dave Sim and Neil
Gaiman are at diametric opposite poles on the political spectrum, they
will always be on good enough terms, personally, to cooperate in
jointly supporting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the First
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Bid on the first of this historic series until Saturday here
