Kevin O'Neill Limited Gosh! Exclusive Signed Prints

This article is dedicated to the screenprints/gyclée prints/prints produced by Gosh! London library and featuring art from Kevin O'Neill. All material is ©Kevin O'Neill/Alan Moore/Pat Mills.
For a complete list of all books reviewed in this blog, please visit the index page.


I will begin with the three Nemo Trilogy A3 "four colours screenprints" produced by Gosh! alongside the original publication of each hardcover (they were originally not framed, I have to thanks my lovely wife for that). They are all limited to 250 copies and signed by both Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill.

In order of appearance we have this first "art deco" Heart of Ice screenprint. Some images of the production of this print (White Duck Screen Print) can be seen here.






Then we have The Roses of Berlin screenprint:





And the River of Ghosts screenprint:





Finally, I was also able to be one of the lucky 40 people to put my hands on this A3 gyclée print signed by Kevin O'Neill, and produced in February 2014.





This gyclée print has been advertised here, and this is its official description:

This high-quality giclée print is A3 (297mm x 420mm) in size and printed on thick, 300gsm Aquarelle rag paper. The image is taken from a splash page in the book which we loved so much that we decided to offer this print up to accompany it! There are just 40 copies up for grabs so we’re limiting it to just one print per person.


In November 2014, another favorite of mine, Marshal Law, was offered the gyclée print treatment. It is limited to 50 signed copies (Kevin O'Neill and Pat Mills), and is described as this: The un-cropped artwork has been giclee printed onto a wonderfully thick and textured paper-stock (310 gsm).



And we finish this article (for the time being) with this B&W Nemesis The Warlock print produced for Gosh! 30th Anniversary (it was the 12th and last print). It was first proposed the 10th February 2017 during a signing event related to 2000 AD 40th Anniversary.

Here its description: Originally drawn as an in-house ad, then reused in both the Eagle Comics reprints and again for the cover of the 2013 Deviant Edition hardcover, we’ve gone back to the original black and white art to create a beautiful screenprint! Signed by Kevin O’Neill and limited to just 100 copies, the screenprint retails for £35. It is A3 (42.0 x 59.4cm, 11.69 x 16.53 inches) and printed on 270gsm Mohawk Superfine acid-free & archival paper.

I was lucky enough to be offered by Pat and Lisa Mills one of the 10 A/P copies (also signed by Pat Mills), my sincere gratitude for that!
