John Lennon Collection of (6) Science Fiction Magazines W/Copy of Handwritten 3-Page Letter of Provenance - This collection of (6) Science-Fiction periodicals were personally owned by John Lennon. The publications come from the collection of the stepson of a Liverpudlian gentleman who befriended John Lennon during his Quarrymen days, when they struck up a conversation over a UFO magazine John was reading at the Woolton village fete on July 6th, 1957. Their common interest led to a friendship which lasted even after John Lennon moved to the U.S., and John would send his friend sketches and magazines covering subjects such as Science Fiction, Aliens and UFOs. Lennon's fascination with UFOs would become a life long interest and culminated in the infamous sighting from his New York apartment on August 23, 1974. The magazines will be accompanied by a copy of the original handwritten 3-page letter of provenance from the original owner's stepson explaining the fascinating history behind the piece (the original letter accompanies Lot 12 in this sale).
