Written and illustrated by Tim Hensley. Sir Alfred No. 3 is an oblique biography of the worlds most famous film director, Alfred Hitchcock. In fact, 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. As Hensleys previous work Wally Gropius referenced the 60s teenager genre, Sir Alfred pays homage to 50s personality comics and movie tie-ins. It ends up being something of a cross between Marge Buells 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. Signed and numbered - Limited to 1,000 copies.

NOTE: May or may not include additional items and mylar sleeve. See item notes. 9 3/4" x 12 3/4", 44 pages, full color.
