Agents of Facebook (Dave's Weekly Update #297)/C + S II ... almost there!/ Help Wanted/Who the sweet @#$% is running this $#!* show?!?

Hi, Everybody!

Heeeeeere's...Sean?

What the fuck?

Sean Michael Robinson:

Hello friends!

Welp, the race against time to get C + S II to the printers in its best form possible continues!

To that end—

1. Does anyone out there (comic shop owner) have a copy of the most recent C + S II printing? According to a certain Cerebus super-fan named Nat, it is most likely the tenth printing. If you DO have such a mythical item, what is the DATE listed next to the printing on the indicia?

2. We still need your bookplate image suggestions! Any ideas welcome—post them here and I'll round up all the ideas and send them to Dave for his evaluation!

Now, off to address Dave's faxed C +S II notes! More on this next week. Now get out there to your local comic store and order a good dozen copies of C + S II and Jaka's Story!

Okay, Heeeeeere's Dav...id Birdsong?

What the shit?

If look at the AMOC sidebar you'll see that we've added a link to the ordering information for COLOUR YOUR OWN CEREBUS IN HELL?  If you click on any of those cover images you will link to Diamond's Preview page for that issue.  We encourage anyone that wants to share the links to do so, but we are now looking for an Official Twitter and Facebook Linker.  (Hey, we just invented that!). The idea is that the day David Birdsong updates the AMOC sidebar he will also send a clickable link to the volunteer(s).  You can do one or you can do both.  All we ask is that you are willing to add the link for each new issue as it comes out as soon as you can to give everyone looking for information on the new issues as much time as possible to alert their LCS and get their hands on the latest CIH? issues.  All you need is an email and an addiction... errrr an account at Twitter and/or Facebook.  The job pays tremendous satisfaction, inclusion in an ever-shrinking circle of Dave Sim fans and the heartfelt thanks of the entire team (and Dave might say your name on one of the Weekly Updates).  Man, how can anyone turn that down?

Please send your resume (well, maybe just say you'll do) it to: cerebusinhell@gmail.com
(this is NOT Dave's email [Dave has no email and will probably not have email ever], please do not send messages to Dave there.)

Thanks from Dave, Sean, Benjamin & David

(Stay tuned for Dave's Weekly Update later today!)

UPDATE:  Three cheers for Brian W. who is now the "Agent Of Twitter". Facebook is still open for anyone that wants to jump onboard.  Thanks, Brian!

No myth... I've a tenth printing of Church & State II. It's dated as having been published in March of 2012.

Sean R said...

THank you VERY much WB! Does it indicate Lebonfon as the printer then?

Really appreciate everyone's assistance! Thanks David for your Ebay inquiry.

W.B. said...

Yessir, Imprimerie Lebonfon of Val D'Or, Quebec was indeed responsible for the tenth printing.

Hey now,

So thank "Really" Ron ESSLER. She's the best.

Probably,

Have Brian send his Twitter handle to momentofcerebus@gmail.com, and I'll see what I can do.

Here's a question for Dave, I've not seen asked. In "Latter Days", Cerebus becomes a fan of "Rabbi" by Garth Inniscent, which was based on "Preacher" by Garth Ennis. Were you ever a reader of that series, or was it just chosen as a topical thing to give something for Cerebus to obsess on?

David,

That's 'cause I signed in to the AMOC tweeter, and took care of it.

I DO do my job. Sometimes...

This may have been addressed somewhere and I missed it, but what is the deal with the cerebusdownload files snd all the restoration. Years ago, when I bought the whole set, I was given the impression that the files would be updated as books got restored, but it doesn't seem like that has happened. Am I just misinformed? They still look like the old scans, not nearly as nice as what I have seen posted here as samples.
