Information on this publication as follows...

Sir Alfred No. 3 is an oblique biography of the world’s most famous film director, Alfred Hitchcock. Despite being numbered “No. 3,” no other issues exist. The comic book is composed of multiple gag strips based on anecdotes found in tomes of film lore in the public library and used book shops, while simultaneously paying homage to ’50s personality comics and movie tie-ins. It ends up being something of a cross between Marge Buell’s Tubby - who bears an unforeseen resemblance to the famous director - and Miss Beverly Hills of Hollywood. The book includes cameos by Salvador Dali, Greta Garbo, Joseph Cotten, Joan Fontaine, David O. Selznick, Edith Head, Gregory Peck, Bernard Herrmann, Francois Truffaut and a cast of thousands.

It should be emphasized that Sir Alfred No. 3 is more than just a comic book - it is a signed and numbered, limited edition bundle produced with a variety of manufacturing processes including offset, letterpress, and giclee printing, as well as blind embossing, handstamping, and diecutting. Each copy of this strictly limited and signed/numbered edition of 1,000 comes with a correspondingly numbered giclee print (suitable for framing) and a custom beverage coaster, all packaged in a transparent mylar sleeve.

Photos depict the publication within the mylar sleeve (front and back), the publication outside of the mylar, giclee print, and coaster. The sticker affixed to the outside front of the mylar features Hensley's signature and indicates this copy as being #543 of 1,000. Additional decorative sticker also affixed to the rear side of the mylar ("First and Only Deluxe Limited Edition").

It is understood this item is sold-out from the distributor and is no longer available at retail. This was the final publication of Pigeon Press.

A very strange and unique illustrated compilation of a curated cross-section of Hitchcock's life (with an emphasis on the more off-putting anecdotes, naturally).
