Knockabout Comics, publishers of Gilbert Shelton, Hunt Emerson and Alan Moore, amongst others, and Sequential, the digital graphic novel iPad app,have announced the forthcoming release of a special, free Neil Gaiman charity special compiling ‘lost’ comic strips from the 1980s.

The collection features Gaiman’s collaborations with Bryan Talbot, Dave McKean and others, and includes a very rare 80s interview, Gaiman’s original typed notes for Sandman, sample scripts, project proposals and more, including an original cover by Hunt Emerson.

The FREE collection, entitled Neil Gaiman’s Lost Tales will initially be exclusively available on Sequential late this month, and for each download a donation of $0.50 will be made to the charity Malaria No More, with a target of raising $15,000 to fight malaria.

News of the anthology is featured on the cover of the latest issue of Infinity, the magazine of graphic novels and sequential art, also available FREE on Sequential
