DTT: Original Bowie "Aladdin Sane" Artwork Leads the Duffy Archive at Bonhams

 Known as the “Mona Lisa of Pop” it is one of the most recognisable images of all time, David Bowie’s cover image for his iconic album Aladdin Sane, shot by Duffy. Now the original artwork leads the sale The Mona Lisa of Pop: The Duffy Archive running from 22nd October – 5th November on bonhams.com and at Bonhams New Bond Street, London. It has an estimate of £250,000-300,000.

 The iconic Aladdin Sane album cover was photographed by legendary British photographer Brian Duffy(15th June 1933 – 31st May 2010), one of the key photographers of the Swinging Sixties, during a 1973 London studio session. Bowie's manager, Tony Defries, commissioned the shoot with instructions to create a high-impact, superstar-making cover. 

The striking red-and-blue lightning bolt across Bowie's face was Duffy’s idea, and was painted by makeup artist Pierre La Roche. Duffy brought the luxe production values he’d already applied to the 1973 Pirelli calendar, where he’d collaborated with airbrush artist Philip Castle – who also later added the single airbrushed teardrop on Bowie’s clavical bone that completed the cover design. 

For the reproduction, Duffy opted for a Kodak process called dye transfer, which produced a greater depth of colour and the right kind of surface for airbrushing. The shoot was one of five sessions Bowie and Duffy collaborated on, a creative partnership that lasted nine years and also resulted in covers for Lodger and Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps).

“Duffy asked David what the album was to be called, and David replied “A Lad Insane”. Duffy interpreted this as ‘Aladdin Sane’; I guess a genie vision and thoughts of rubbing an Aladdin’s lamp must have appeared to him.”     
– Chris Duffy

 For nearly four decades following the April 1973 release of Aladdin Sane, the iconic eyes-closed image remained the only widely seen frame from the shoot. That changed in 2010, when David Bowie and the Duffy Archive gave the green light for a colour, eyes-open alternate version to be used on the cover of Kevin Cann’s book, Any Day Now. The same striking image was later used by the V&A to promote their landmark 2013 exhibition, David Bowie Is…

“Duffy’s iconic photography, paired with Bowie’s incomparable artistic vision, captured the spirit of a generation and cemented their place in cultural history,” notes Claire Tole-Moir, Head of Bonhams’ Popular Culture Department. “As collaborators, they produced a body of work that defined the visual language of the 1970s and beyond, influencing music, fashion, and photography. From the iconic album cover artworks to the actual cameras used, each piece has a story to tell. 

 

“These items have been widely exhibited around the world, and with the David Bowie Centre opening at V&A East this September, this timely auction will be a rare and thrilling opportunity for collectors and fans to own a piece of Duffy / Bowie history.”

Duffy’s son, Chris Duffy, Founder and Managing Director of the Duffy Archive, commented: “Duffy and I began establishing the archive in 2006 to ensure that my father’s legacy and his iconic images were preserved and viewed. The works in the sale at Bonhams have been exhibited worldwide in museums and galleries. 

“At this key moment of recognition for the iconic Duffy/Bowie collaboration, I feel it’s right that a small but significant part of the Duffy Archive collection is available for many to share in this legacy. I thank Bonhams for hosting the exhibition of his work for sale and for their sensitive approach to his unique contribution to pop culture.”

DTT: Braddock bounces into danger in latest new Commando tale

Ace pilot Bomber Braddock returns in his latest adventure alongside other fantastic tales in Commando issues 5891-5894 on sale from Thursday 25th September 2025 from DC Thomson Media on the high street from TG Jones, and online via various digital platforms.

Braddock’s back again in “Big Bad Wulfe”,  showing you just can’t keep a man like him down. Following on from his unexpected imprisonment by the enemy in Issue 5875, this time, though, writer Ferg Handley has him looking for trouble, and he soon finds a whole heap of it! Carlos Pino is back on artwork duties, too, for our intrepid pilot, as he leads a mission to capture a German bomber. The action is non stop on this one, and Ferg’s got a good handle on Braddock, a worthy modern take on the longtime comic hero’s many adventures.

In this set’s other new adventure, “A Coq and Bouille Story”, don’t be fooled by the delicious raclette mentioned in writer Suresh’s tale — this story is about resistance in the face of the Nazis’ evil plan to inflict vengeance on Britain, in the form of the early days of deadly V1 bombs. With artwork from veteran artist Jaume Forns alongside a cover by relative newcomer Simon Pritchard, who is fast establishing himself as a fan-favourite, Suresh skilfully blends action with deception in his latest story, with a twist I for one didn’t see coming along the way. 

Represented this set is “Hijack” - but if you think you might know what this Commando is about, you don’t! RA Montague’s weaves an enjoyable yarn, centred on rescuing a Greek atomic scientist from the Nazis; a story with more twists and turns in it than a snake on a waltzer... Collado, on art duties in this represented issue, was an artist who really understood the format of the pocket digest title, skilfully telling an entertaining story with a deft art style and a fine eye for storytelling. The unlikely look of what turns out to be a very modern castle aside, its look explained as the adventure unfolds, he rarely misses a step bringing Montague’s story to life.

Amaniaco edciones has collected a number of strips drawn by Luis Collado

If Collado’s work looks familiar, it should: born in 1935, he’s an artist who has carved an impressive career as a comic storyteller, drawing stories for a wide range of European publishers, many of his war comic strips collected by Spanish language publisher Amaniaco edciones. In the 1970s, drew strips for British titles such as 2000AD (although only two early “filler” episodes on that title), Valiant (drawing “Death Wish’), and Warlord (bringing memorable life to “Kampfgruppe Falken” with writer Alan Hemus in 1977); and US publisher Skywald, working on a number of horror stories for the latter. Check out Lambiek and the Spanish language comic site Tebeosfera for more details.

Also from the vaults is another cracking Commando, “Go for Gold” by CG Walker’s story set in the dying days of the war in Italy, with art from Escandell and a cover by Ron Brown. When two very different British soldiers discover some ill-gotten Nazi gold, will it prove their making… or breaking? The story throws in plenty of action before the discovery brings the tale to a dramatic finale and, as with “A Coq and Bouille Story”, deception and betrayal abounds throughout!

Commando 5891 (Home of Heroes): Braddock: Big Bad Wulfe

Story: Ferg Handley | Art and Cover: Carlos Pino

After his daring escape from an Italian POW camp, Braddock found himself craving his next adventure. Luckily, adventure had a way of finding him! German Focke Wulf Condors were causing problems for the Allies in the Atlantic, and the Brits didn’t have any planes with the same range. Braddock’s solution? Steal one of the German kites, of course! But this mission would require a crack team, and some of Brad’s flight crew were more up to the task than others. Could they pull it off?

Commando 5892 (Gold): Hijack!

Story: RA Montague  | Art: Collado | Cover: Penalva

First published 1971 as No. 605

Lieutenant Pete Wade was very glad to see the last of Greece. He had seen too many brave men die facing hopeless odds as the Nazis swarmed in with overwhelming numbers. But he wouldn’t have been nearly so pleased if he’d known that he’d be sent back to Greece... by parachute, at dead of night. And there would be other enemies to deal with, more dangerous even than the Nazis!

Commando 5893 (For Action and Adventure): A Coq and Bouille Story

Story: Suresh | Art: Jaume Forns | Cover: Simon Pritchard

The sleepy resort of Hauteville-Les-Bains in the French Alps was known for its hot springs and fine, salted raclette, it was a haven for tourists to relax and indulge. But in 1940, after conquering France, the Germans marched into Hauteville, destroying the calm atmosphere… there would be no raclette or relaxing for the next five years. 

Even worse, the Germans started using the town for the nefarious Project X… a secret weapon that would take the Nazis’ vengeance straight to the heart of Britain!

Commando 5894 (Silver): Go for Gold

Story: CG Walker | Art: Escandell | Cover: Ron Brown

First published 1984 as No. 1815

In the cellar of a villa in Italy, two British soldiers, a lieutenant and a sergeant, found a huge hoard of gold. No-one else knew it was there. No-one would know if they took it for themselves!

DTT: New Moebius Book, Lézards rêveurs (Dreaming Lizards), launched: Limited 1st edition now available to order

Just launched, Lézards rêveurs (Dreaming Lizards) brings together artwork from two of Jean Giraud's private journals drawn between 1996 and 1999, and is being sold in the UK through Book Palace Books.

These never before seen artworks (in black and white and colour) reveal a personal side of the artist who created much of the modern idea of science fiction and who influenced some of the greatest modern day film makers, animators and storytellers.

The book is full of observational drawings, spontaneous notes, poems and sketches for projects, many of which capture the creative sparks which were often inspired by his travels both physical and imaginary.

For Jean Giraud, wandering around with a notebook in his pocket at all times became a habit. He threw into it the seeds of his future albums – such as the first pages of Chasseur Déprime – as well as spontaneous concepts, personal poems, and observational drawings.

With Lézards rêveurs, these psychic snapshots project us directly into another world, opening up a more intimate glimpse into Mœbius's life and his dreamlike wanderings.

A previously unpublished poem (in French) is in the book, offering an immersion into the world of the Major, an emblematic figure in Mœbius's work.

This book really is a rare insight into this master's intimate creative process and personal note-taking techniques, whether they reference solitary moments, journeys to Los Angeles, New York, Mexico, Boston, Paris, or time with his family.

One morning, a teenage boy wakes to find that he has grown to the size of a giant. Inspired by the journey of the author’s younger brother, this wordless wonder of a book follows the experience of a family as one of their own faces a life-threatening illness. As his health declines, can the family remain resilient on his long journey through treatment?

In Peter in Peril, a powerful graphic novel is based on a true story, Peter is just an ordinary boy growing up in Budapest, who loves playing football with his friends and eating cake – until war comes to his city and the whole family have to go into hiding.

DTT: Exploring the Art of the Radio Times

The current Radio Times cover, trailing the new series of Apple TV’s spy drama, Slow Horses, is quite the eye catcher. It’s great to see the TV listings magazine still commissioning the occasional art cover, especially given its long tradition of utilising original art.

In this case, the cover is the creation of The Red Dress, aka London based Olivia Chancellor and Oliver Bland, who’ve also provided illustrations for Vanity Fair, Empire, and more.

Vampira for Empire by The Red Dress

Readers have welcomed the standout cover – sadly, something of a rarity for British magazines as commissioning budgets are squeezed. (Fortunately, titles like Mojo and others are still utilising illustrators).

It’s all a far cry from a little over ten years ago, when the cover art of the Radio Times was actively celebrated with a special radio programme, The Art of Radio Times, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2013 and available to listen here on BBC Radio 4 Extra.

As the Radio Times reached its centenary, Peter Day told the story of the outstanding British graphic artists who made the magazine their canvas.

The idea that a broadcasting listings magazine should provide the opportunity for writers and artists to produce some of their finest creative work seems perhaps a little far-fetched in the present era of TV listing magazines and supplements.

Yet Radio Times, which first appeared on bookstands in September 1923, was a great nurturer of artistic talent.

It started with cartoons – the early magazine loved a gentle 'Punch'-like joke - but soon Radio Times evolved its own individual graphic idiom, using line drawings and motifs, alongside more conventional photographs, to illustrate the imaginative world of radio, in particular.

In the magazine's heyday, an elegant Eric Fraser cover would regularly grace the bumper-selling Christmas edition, and 1953's Coronation Number became a collector's item with Fraser's simple and noble heraldic theme.

Alongside Eric Fraser, amongst the great British artists to create some of their most distinguished work for Radio Times were Edward Ardizzone, Val Biro, Frank Bellamy, Dave Gibbons and Victor Reinganum.

This Frank Bellamy illustration highlighted an edited omnibus of The Sea Devils (27 December 1972) in the Radio Times

In addition, Bob Sherriffs contributed thumbnail caricatures in the early years and, 50 years later, Peter Brookes, before becoming a fixture on The Times was a regular contributor.

In The Art of Radio Times, originally made to mark the 90th anniversary, produced by Simon Elmes, Peter Day explores the graphic heritage that Radio Times fostered with those who drew and those who commissioned for it.

DTT: RPG Nostalgia: FASA’s Doctor Who Role Playing Game

Who remembers FASA’s groundbreaking Doctor Who Role Playing Game? First released as a Boxed Set in 1985, it was written by Guy W. McLimore Jr. and William John Wheeler, the game featured art by a number of artists. 

They include FASA staffer Jane K. Bigos, David R. Deitrick (who describes his career as encompassing “artist, a soldier, a teacher, a missionary, an oil-field roustabout, a carpenter, and a dozen other professions”, and has dreamed up some stunning Fireball XL5 reboot concepts), artist and author William H. Keith Jr., who contributed heavily to the graphical appearance of that era of Traveller RPG releases and now writes under the name Ian Douglas; the game’s Art Director and Dungeons and Dragons and Star Trek game artist Dana M. Knutson, game developer Dave R. Marsh, creator of the Shadowgate computer game, and graphic designer Todd F. Marsh. 

More memorable, perhaps, are the art contributions of the late Jim Holloway, a name surely familiar to fans of other popular RPGs down the years: not just Dungeons & Dragons, but less well known games such as Gamma World and Star Frontiers. He provided art on the game’s supplements, his distinctive (if inaccurate) art for The Daleks cover still eye catching today.

Harry Quinn was another artist on the project, delivering the cover for The Legions of Death, a Third Doctor supplement. He painted also provided cover images for Doctor Who and the Vortex Crystal and Doctor Who and the Rebel's Gamble, but is still well regarded for his work on other fantasy and RPG books for FASA, TSR, and others. 

Cover art by Harry Quinn

FASA’s Doctor Who Role Playing Game, of course, was only the first RPG based on Doctor Who; Time Lord – Adventures through Time and Space, written by Ian Marsh and Peter Darvill-Evans, featuring cover art by Colin Howard, was published in 1991 by Virgin Publishing, and the Cubicle 7 incarnation of the game is now in its second edition. But there’s always something fascinating about pioneers, and FASA’s take was certainly that for many, and there’s clearly still plenty of love for it out there although, of course, tracking down a complete set is not an easy or inexpensive task.

Art by Jim Holloway

Comprising a 48-page Player's Manual, 82-page Game Operations Manual, and 64-page Sourcebook for Field Operatives, and dice, the first Doctor Who roleplaying game utilised a revised version of the system developed for FASA's Star Trek: The Roleplaying Game. The game allowed players to assume roles as Time Lords and companions, and to work as operatives for the Celestial Intervention Agency. 

Although FASA only published modules for it during 1985-86, it nevertheless generated three supplements and seven adventure modules, some of which contained lore from the TV series that was not readily available to fans in the United States, and, for some, was actually their first introduction to Doctor Who. 

Although Tom Baker and Louise Jameson had long parted the show, it’s little wonder the Fourth Doctor and Leela featured in the first edition, such was their popularity stateside.

Even if you didn’t ever play the game, perhaps put off by the complexity of play (although hardcore RPG fans appreciated it), many Who fans, including myself, were avid collectors of the tie-in figures created by Citadel Miniatures, a subsidiary of Games Workshop: a set of 25mm miniatures co-branded with FASA sold in conjunction with the game. (For the US market, the sets were actually produced by RAFM Miniatures).

It’s great to see Cubicle 7 still flying the flag for Doctor Who RPGs, particularly at a time when the series TV future seems uncertain. But you can’t help but admire the work of those who got there first.
