Hand-painted Captain Scarlet titles and Banksy work among auction items
A hand-painted Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons end title and an artwork from Banksy are among items being auctioned.
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.'

Sam Thompson embraces sister as he ends 260-mile run and cycle for Soccer Aid
Reality TV star Sam Thompson appeared to break down in tears as he finished a five-day Soccer Aid challenge that saw him run and cycle a total of 260 miles. The former Made In Chelsea star, 32, embraced his sister, Louise Thompson, as well as her partner Ryan Libbey, and nephew Leo as he hopped over the finish line in Manchester on Friday morning. TV presenter Will Best spoke to Thompson live on ITV's This Morning and revealed that his Match Ball Mission has so far raised £1,516,433.22 for humanitarian aid organisation Unicef. Thompson said: 'I'm so grateful for everyone being here, I didn't think anyone was going to turn up. 'Thank you so much to everyone being here, everyone who has donated as well, I'll say it a million times, I'm made of glass, it's all the heroes who donate and stuff, you are so heroic.' The I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! winner faced a calf injury during the challenge and could be seen limping as he crossed the finish line. The TV star had travelled from Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium in London, the location of last year's Soccer Aid match in aid of Unicef, to Manchester United's Old Trafford home, which is hosting the 2025 game that Thompson is due to play in. Thompson's challenge saw him make pit stops at several football stadiums including MK Dons' Stadium MK, Aston Villa's Villa Park, and Everton's Goodison Park. His final day saw him travel through Huyton, Warrington, Sale, Stretford and the Coronation Street cobbles with friends, family and fans cheering him across the finish line. His experience is documented in a one-off programme titled Sam Thompson's Match Ball Mission that will air on Friday June 13 at 9pm on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player. The money raised from the challenge will support Unicef's work, including providing clean water and nutrition, for children around the world.
