Alan Moore unpublished script up for auction

Over here (on US ebay) there's a chance to bid for an unpublished Alan Moore script - originally written in 1997. I include it here, not because I'll be bidding on it, but because it gives a rare chance to see if Alan's panel descriptions really are as detailed as legend says they are.

You'll see from the images below that they don't disappoint! The 2nd and 3rd pictures show a whole page of A4 paper is required to show a single panel. Maybe it's quite a big panel, maybe the whole page, but even so - a whole page!

With 5 days to go the bid is already nearly $3,500

The seller has the following to say about the lot...

First, all money earned from this auction will go directly to Bob Wiacek, long time comic-book inker and all around good guy. Bob has some severe eye issues that preclude him from being able to work. All money earned will go directly to aid Bob.

 

ALAN MOORE SCRIPT

 

You are bidding on an UNPUBLISHED Alan Moore script from 1997. Several artists were going to draw different chapters, not sure how many but at least one was intended for Travis Charest. These 28 pages are all that Alan wrote, it is NOT complete and never was (Hence it never being published).

 

DETAILS:

 

Gen13 Annual called “THE COMING OF THE COLLECTOR!!”

 

28 out of 48 pages were written—35 typed pages.

 

The script was sent (as ALL of Alan’s scripts were) via fax. The pages were printed out on plain paper (not thermal fax paper, thank goodness) and are probably the only copies that exist.

 

This script is being sold with Alan Moore’s full knowledge and blessing (since it will help Bob).

 

This is truly the ultimate Alan Moore collectible—an unpublished script by arguably the greatest writer in comics history—one-of-a-kind!
