Maxwell the magic cat - the complete litter

I've looked before at Alan Moore's Maxwell the magic cat...

I looked at volume 3 here

I looked at volume 4 here

and in Italian here

And now thanks to ebay seller Lofthouse Emporium (here) it's come to my attention that there was also a 'collected' set of books also produced. It's not a single volume instead it's more of a folder into which each of the volumes could easily slip. Nice! And also rare! Good luck tracking down one of these

Maxwell the magic cat - in Italian!

I've looked before at Alan Moore's Maxwell the magic cat...

I looked at volume 3 here

I looked at volume 4 here

and now it turns out that there's an Italian (collected?) edition of the Maxwell strips too. Those lucky Italians.

Maxwell the magic cat, volume 4

The four slim reprint volumes (published by Acme press) of Alan Moore's Maxwell the magic cat newspaper strips are surely high on the wants list of any Moore aficionado. Volumes 1 and 2 seem a little easier to get hold of than volumes 3 and 4 but I've long been more interested in volumes 3&4 as I knew they had Maxwell work by other artists in.

I looked at volume 3 here

And there's currently a rare chance to get hold of volume 4 (here) - I'm not the seller, instead it's that finder of rare and wonderful comic things Ewan Brownlow (here)

Below we have the artistic highlights of volume 3 - the original art of these images (along with those in volume 4) were all auctioned off at UKCAC87 for charity.
