In the words of Professor Farnsworth, “Good news, everyone!” Gosh! has outgrown its wee shop at 39 Great Russell Street so WE’RE MOVING to new, bigger premises at No. 1 Berwick Street, Soho – the first time this has happened in just over 25 years. Our fancy new shop is being kitted out by Callum Lumsden whose work you might have seen Mary Portas praising on telly. That alone is all very exciting – but there’s MORE! Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill will be joining us for a signing on the 30th of July to celebrate the release of their League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1969 and to tread biscuit crumbs into the carpet I will no longer have to hoover. The new shop opens on Saturday the 6th of August and we’ve got more signings and events to dribble out in bite-size chunks over the coming weeks.
I’ve just read an interview with Peter Maresca, the man who accidentally became a publisher just because he wanted to show off his collection of classic strip comics. With a stash that included Little Nemo and Walt & Skeezix who wouldn’t? The latest from Maresca’s Sunday Press is Forgotten Fantasy: Sunday Comics 1900 – 1915 and it gets top billing this week not just because it dwarfs everything beside it, but because Maresca puts so much effort and love into these mammoth books that probably daunt most retailers. They’d probably be easier to set sail on than get home on the tube. In this new one you can find The Kin-der-Kids, Wee Willie Winkie’s World, and The Explorigator by Henry Grant Dart, Nibsy the Newsboy by George McManus, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend Sundays by Winsor McCay, and dozens of other bits from John Gruelle, Gustave Verbeek, Herbert Crowley, John R. Neill and more. There’s also this one:

Exciting things are afoot! We have a brand new website designed by our very own Julia Scheele (with a Meet The Staff page and everything, hello how do you do) so make sure you switch your RSS feeds and bookmarks, etc. Also we’ve also got ten pieces of original art from Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s upcoming League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Century 1969 on our walls. They’ve been there for about a week and already loads of you have come and gazed up at them with longing and downright impatience.
We may be biased but we highly recommend popping in for a real life preview if you haven’t already, and while you’re here you can reserve your bookplated copies with our handy standing order service. I will keep going on about this until you do, yes.

Everybody stop what you’re doing and set up a standing order for THIS: The League of Gentlemen III triptych bookplate set. That’s a fancy way of saying Kevin O’Neill is retroactively adding a bookplate to the already-published-and-probably-already-in-your-house Century: 1910, and doing two more for the upcoming volumes (the next due in late July with the final one expected in summer next year so you’ve got something to read in the likely event you missed out on Olympics tickets). Don’t get pre-emptively stroppy if you already own a copy of Century: 1910 – it’s all taken care of. Read the blog post.

We’ve been waiting so long for this book that not only has the dinner gone cold and been thrown in the bin, we’d very nearly turned out the lights and gone to bed. To celebrate its long awaited and very welcome arrival on our doorstep we thought we’d do something mighty special indeed.
The latest installment of Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s hit series is on the presses as I type and due to be on a boat leaving Hong Kong on the 19th of June. It should be in all UK book and comic shops in the week of the 25th of July providing no pirates or fans gone mad with impatience inexpertly commandeer the ship and crash it on foreign shores, littering the sea with psychedelic colours and leagues of extraordinary gentlemen.
Gosh!’s Bookplate Editions are usually limited to just the one volume of a series or stand-alone graphic novel. Never before have we done what we’re about to do. The talented Mr O’Neill is busy illustrating a triptych of mini-prints for each part of the current series, available exclusively at Gosh! and limited to 1000 copies of each. It’s a mighty hike up from the usual 200 copies but that’s just because the demand for this thing is so deservedly huge, and we hate to see disappointment on your wee faces.
Each plate is A5 format. 210cm x 148cm
