n.p.: Malcolm Mc Neill (postcards), 2010-2012.
6" x 4" ea., three postcards, color printed on recto, signed on verso.

Three promotional postcards in an annual sequence leading up to the publication of The Lost Art of Ah POOK IS HERE by Malcolm Mc Neill. These are dated 2010, 2011, and 2012.

Ah Pook Is Here was a planned early graphic novel of sorts between Burroughs and Mc Neill, which was not fully realized in publication. The text was published by Calder Books without the images in the hope of finding a publisher for the full version. When it became clear that no publisher would take the risk, the project came to an end." [Mc Neill, p. 126]

Later, Fantagraphics Books was willing to publish the book as collaboratively intended, but "[t]he Burroughs estate, however, would not agree to allow any of Bill's text to be included." [Mc Neill, p.127]. Fantagraphics was threatened with an injunction, and they reduced the scope to publish the art without the words.

All three cards are signed on the verso and dated according to the card; all were received from Malcolm Mc Neill in 2020 along with a puzzle created from one of the images.
