Who's signature?

[ultraniblet]

Ah well good to know it's probably genuine. I guess it's easy to overlook signatures in amongst artwork. It sounds like you have a big collection of signed annuals - do you sell them? If so, how much?

[Buddy]

That's deffo Alan Moore. He signed an issue of Watchmen for me ages ago at UKCAC.

I can also confirm that is Mr Rufus Dayglo.

Hey are you Rufus Dayglo?

Yes sir.. I am.

:-) Rufus

Thanks for the signature confirmation Mr Umpty - phew signed Watchmen, we like!

Hi Rufus, I met you at that 2000AD exhibition in Covent Garden a year back. Nice work on Artdroids!

I had a nice surprise like this a few years back at a comic shop in Brighton- bought the old Titan imprint of Halo Jones Book One, and while I was still at the till (but had paid) found it was signed by Moore and Gibson, wherupon the shop offered to buy it back from me for double the price. I declined their offer!

[ultraniblet]

If they offered you double it figures they would resell it at 4x the price or more :-) I don't like the feeling of ripping someone off, particularly at a car boot sale (the lady was really friendly), but if they havn't even looked in it I guess it can't mean that much to them.

[OldOne]

No, I think you can rest easy there, it's not reallt ripping anyone off- it's just jolly good luck, and an awesome find! Well done, you!

[Jim_Campbell]

Yep, I can confirm that looks like a genuine Moore, too. I have several issues of Swamp Thing, Watchmen, and Halo Jones-era 2K with Mr Moore's signature on 'em, and this one looks legit.

Cheers

Jim

Cheers Jim, wow sounds like you have a decent collection ... so do you think people try to fake this kind of stuff?

"Cheers Jim, wow sounds like you have a decent collection ... so do you think people try to fake this kind of stuff?"

Heh ... back in the day, Moore used to regularly do signings at comic shops and I ambushed him a couple of times with a big-assed fistful of comics.

As I've said on a couple of other Moore-related threads (particularly the creator rights ones, where it's been suggested I'm somewhat anti-Moore), I have an enormous affection for the man, who never responded to any daft question, request for signatures, or sketches of Maxwell the Magic Cat with anything other than good-natured wit and charm.

... And I would be very surprised if anyone thought it was worthwhile faking comic creators' signatures!

Cheers

Jim

That signiature is the same as the one on my annual.  I'd say it was real.  Dude, you've touched the same book as Alan moore did...

Heh, nice one!

The Bryan Talbot one looks genuine I have loads of stuff signed by him. (recently Alice In Sunderland)

[ultraniblet]

Cheers Judge,

I really want to get hold of Luther Arkwright & also  Alice in Sunderland. Do you know where the best place to buy The Adventures of Luther Arkwright is?

[Large48]

The only one that looks a bit dodgy is Ian's but he was probably flying at the time..... ;-)

[Judge Merlin]

I got my Luther Book from Bryan himself at the comic con in Lancaster last year.

I think you can buy it from his website but I'm not 100% sure.

As for Alice I'd try your local Waterstones as the last time I was in there were loads on the shelf.
