Neil Gaiman has contributed this original mint-condition edition of
"Nicholas Was..." to benefit the CBLDF! Neil describes the item as:
"Nicholas Was..." is a hundred-word short story that began life as a Christmas Card, which Dave McKean calligraphed for me and I sent out to friends and family in 1989. I still wonder how many of them actually read it. The original Dave McKean handwritten Christmas cards -- as far as I know only one has ever been sold. (The people who got them in 1989 are either still holding on to them, or threw them away once Xmas was done, I expect.) The one that was sold went to auction [in 2010] -- I found a handful of the originals in the attic, and donated one to the Low Key Gathering auction, helping to bring fans in from all over the world who could never have made it otherwise to the House on the Rock Hallowe'en party. The "Nicholas Was" card went for over $1200. Now is your chance to own this rare item, recently found by Neil and signed at his home to benefit the CBLDF! (This auction is administered by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. All proceeds go toward our continued First Amendment work.) |
