The item, not surprisingly is a graphic novel. Although not Batman as you might think. No, it’s The Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons. This was purchased, after reading the copy a lad at boarding school lent me. It was my very first graphic novel.

Over thirty years later I have a collection of hundreds of graphic novels, and collectibles. Including a HotToys Batman as a wedding present. I know folks that work in comics, and I’m genuinely a massive geek.

So to answer the question. What became of it? Well it has stayed by my side, and started a love affair with comic books thats lasted over thirty years. So now it’s sealed away in the part of my comic book collection thats not filling my bookcase.

In its place is a copy signed by Dave Gibbons. That was a gift from Mrs Bob.
