Rare Brightonomicon poster auctioned for Stroke Association

24 April 2008 No Comment

As part of the release of “The Brightonomicon Audio Series” by BBC Audiobooks and Hokus Bloke Productions, the cast & crew have been raising awareness and money for The Stroke Association (Charity No. 211015) in memory of Peter Barnes, who passed away from a stroke aged just 30 back in Nov 2003.

On ebay they present a RARE opportunity to own 1 of 3 ROBERT RANKIN designed Brightonomicon posters (only 12 were ever printed!).

Each poster features artwork by the cult author himself, lots of spaniels (of course), Norris Styver in his Morris Minor, the Centaur of the Universe, the Chronovision, Queen Victoria looking stern, Count Otto Black’s underground submersible, Capt Moulsecoomb, Ahab the Space Crab, Lord Tobes de Valois and Robert/Hugo (make up your own mind!)

Each poster is individually numbered.

But what makes this an even more exclusive opportunity is that each poster has been signed by members of the cast and crew of The Brightonomicon. The signatures you get are:

Robert Rankin
David Warner (played Hugo Rune)
Andy Serkis (played Count Otto Black)
Rupert Degas (played Rizla)
Sarah Douglas (played Nurse Hearse)
Steve Oram (played Sam the Zombie)
Laurie Buckley (played the girl at the bar)
Elliott Stein (played the monk + co-wrote the script)
Tamsyn Challenger (played Janet Orion)
Neil Gardner (played Ahab the Space crab + co-wrote/produced/directed the series)
Graham Rogers (played the driver + was the announcer)
Jeremy Paul Carroll (wrote the wonderful music)
Danny Eastman (played Danbury Collins)
Ben Onwukwe (played Robert Johnson)

The poster is 500mm wide by 700mm high, printed on shiny poster-quality paper in super-Rankinomicon-colour!

ALL THE MONEY RAISED WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE STROKE ASSOCIATION – so please bid as high as possible and help them make a fortune for a most worthy cause.
