Hand-painted Captain Scarlet titles and Banksy work among auction items
The sale features more than 430 examples of music, animation, comics and gaming memorabilia as well as contemporary and street art pieces.
The piece by illustrator Ronald Embleton accompanied the final credits of Captain Scarlet, the puppet-based series similar to Thunderbirds and also created by the animation duo Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
The image of the 'indestructible' hero, which shows Scarlet diving as inflammable barrels explode, was held in a private collection for more than 20 years, before becoming part of the auction by Propstore.
It is estimated at £22,000 to £44,000.
Also in the sale is graffiti artist Og Slick's Money Mouse sculpture, which has an estimate of between £14,000 and £28,000, and a circular artwork bearing a black, white and red face by Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp that could go for £3,000 to £6,000.
The Banksy work is a Di-Faced Tenner, which features Diana, Princess of Wales. That is listed at between £500 and £1,000 with 100% of the wining bid going to development agency Unicef.
Music memorabilia includes a Noel Gallagher-signed Fender Acoustasonic guitar, which also has proceeds going to Unicef, with an estimate of £5,000 to £10,000, as well as a Tupac autograph and a framed Dark Side Of The Moon album cover print by Storm Thorgerson that could both go for between £4,000 and £8,000 each.
There are also £8,000 to £16,000-listed prints from 1951 science fiction movie The Day The Earth Stood Still, and a royal charity premiere for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back that took place in 1980.
The Empire Day Is May 20 poster, featuring Darth Vader, was designed by Ralph McQuarrie.
It references the original UK Empire Day of Queen Victoria's birthday in May. In 1958, Empire Day was changed to Commonwealth Day, and took place on March 11 this year.
Stephen Lane, founder and chief executive of Propstore, said: 'We're incredibly excited to launch our Pop Culture Auction – a dynamic new auction to add to Propstore's calendar that pulls together multiple categories of influential work across music, animation, poster design, contemporary art and more.
'Whether you're an experienced collector or exploring for the first time, the auction offers a wide range of unique and significant pieces, some of which are coming to market for the first time.'
Online bidding opens on June 3, before the auction takes place on July 2.

This wonderfully pink Rolls-Royce Spectre is here to celebrate the Chelsea Flower Show
Grand electric luxo-barge gets wonderful 'Velvet Orchid' paint, and we're all for it Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. Lady Penelope: secret agent, fashion icon and owner of the exceedingly pink six-wheeled Rolls-Royce 'FAB 1'. And would you look at that similarly glorious pink Spectre up above. That erm... isn't anything to do with Thunderbirds at all actually. In fact, it's all about the recent RHS Chelsea Flower Show, although Rolls doesn't actually namecheck the Royal Horticultural Society, instead referring to the free-to-attend 'Chelsea Bloom' on the streets of London. Perhaps there's beef that we don't know about.

It was going great until my calf popped. Don't really know what that means but something has happened. So I can barely walk on it. 'But we completed the marathon and we are going to do the bike in a bit. Let's see how that goes.' This Morning airs on ITV.

Sam Thompson breaks down in tears as Pete Wicks surprises him in sweet reunion
Made In Chelsea star, Sam Thompson, took off on a mammoth 260-mile endurance challenge for UNICEF on Monday on foot and by bike from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford Sam Thompson burst into tears when he saw his best pal, Pete Wicks, cheering him on during his epic challenge for UNICEF this week. The Made In Chelsea star, 31, took off on a mammoth 260-mile endurance feat for Soccer Aid on Monday on foot and by bike from Stamford Bridge to Old Trafford. Sam is seen covered in sweat, limping, with his knee bandaged up, Sam can't control his emotions as he clocks Pete, 36, who rushes over to give his friend a huge hug. Visibly stunned, the I'm A Celebrity winner begins to cry and splutters: "Thank you so much for coming," Pete says: "Don't be silly. As if I was never not going to come. I'm so proud of you. You're smashing it!" Sam concedes: "I'm not smashing it" to which Pete insists "You are smashing it! Are you still going? Well then you're smashing it." However, heartbreakingly, Sam then says: "I'm not the guy, man." Hugging his friend even tighter, Pete says: "You are the guy. You were the guy before this started and you're the guy now." Sam took the first steps of his gruelling Match Ball Mission for Soccer Aid for UNICEF challenge on Monday as he aimed to run and cycle 49 miles from West London to Milton Keynes on day one. He was joined on the start line by I'm A Celebrity…Unpacked co-host Joel Dommett, as well as his sister Louise Thompson, her partner Ryan Libbey and their son, Leo. Speaking on Monday, Sam, who made his debut playing for England at Soccer Aid for UNICEF last year, told the charity: "I had no sleep last night, I'm absolutely terrified but I know I just need to keep my head in the game and remember why I'm doing this. "It's all for UNICEF and to raise as much money as possible so I'm going to dig deep and get on with it and look forward to a hot shower at the end." Meanwhile, Louise said: "Sam's such a happy, entertaining person, I've never seen him do something that will require so much resilience and endurance. I'm so proud of him, he's put so much work in and it's all for an incredible cause and will help so many children. "I'm waving him off at the beginning and I'll be seeing him at the end, that's all the support he needs from me." Sam's nationwide challenge will see him tackle five back-to-back endurance days – running five marathons and cycling more than 130 miles. He still has three day to go as heads north towards the final whistle in Old Trafford, Manchester on Friday 6 June. His mammoth mission will be captured for a one-off special documentary: Sam Thompson 's Match Ball Mission Friday 13th June 9pm on ITV. The reality star has had a challenging year after splitting up with his girlfriend, Zara McDermott, and navigating life as a singleton. Sam is now rumoured to be dating Love Island's Samie Elishi. Zara, meanwhile is loved up with One Direction's, Louis Tomlinson, after sources said that she and and Sam broke up because they 'wanted different things out of life'.
