Overall, about near fine.A RARE copy of the FIRST ISSUE OF THIS SPECIAL ISSUE 'NECRONOMICON' WHICH WAS INSCRIBED BY GIGER TO GORDON CARROLL. We believe this work was presented to Gordon Carroll by Giger about the same time he was given the amazing painting by Giger which was also sold by Abell Auctions for $140,000. Perhaps the rarest and most desirable Giger item on the market related to the Alien film franchise. Provenance: This lot comes from the collection of Charles Gordon Carroll III, an American film producer and book aficionado.He is best known for being a principal producer for the 'Alien' film franchise which began in 1979.We acquired Carroll's library en bloc including several of his personal copies of movie scripts ('Alien' (1979), 'Cool Hand Luke' (1967), 'Alien 3' (1992), 'How to Murder Your Wife' (1965), etc.) and a few H.R. Giger items he amassed over the years. The H.R. Giger painting completed by Giger for Carroll in 1978 was sold by Abell Auctions in Southern California in March, 2022 for $140,000.
