Bluebottle and Basher 1 (Original)
(Ref: BaxendaleBash1)

Leo Baxendale. It is rare that an original Leo Baxendale comes on the market. Baxendale created most of the memorable strips in the Beano and other DC Thomson comics in 1950s and 1960s including The Bash Street Kids, little Plum Your Redskin Chum, Minnie the Minx, the Banana Bunch and the Three Bears.

He went on to write and create many strips for Fleetway comics including this example which ran for two years in Valiant comic from 1968 - 1970. Basher was a huge fat burglar locked in a weekly conflict with a tiny policeman Bluebottle. This is a very fine example. Please note the art has been cut horizontally across the middle and shows a minor tape stain. 12" x 13" (30cm x 33cm) Pen & Ink Board

Our Price: £295.00 ($442.50) (€324,50)

Boss Is Thinking (Signed) (Limited Edition)
(Ref: BA004a)

Artist: Beano comic

Medium: Numbered Limited edition Screenprint on Hand-made Paper

Size: 15" x 20" (370mm x 500mm)

Signature: Signed by Printmaker

Limited Edition of 50 Screenprints signed and numbered by the printmaker, John Patrick Reynolds.

Description: This is a panel by the famous Leo Baxendale from the early days of the Bash Street Kids, just after Baxendale had invented them in the late 1950s. Most of the characters have changed little over the decades and have very familiar cartoonish faces.

Danny the leader, on the other hand, seems to have a slightly strange, mannish face. I like the way the kids are following him on tiptoes. Screenprint on handmade, acid-free Somerset paper.

Our Price: £270.00 ($405.00) (€297,00)
