Hi, Everybody!

I know today was supposed to be more of my reviews of Cerebus in Hell? (which you could support by getting a postcard from the Kickstarter...), but I got a message from Dave, so wearing my "Go-And-Get-Whatever-He-Wants-As-Long-As-it-Ain't-Loaded Wise Fellow" hat:

Thanks so much and have a great day!!
From the Heritage listings: Auctioned on behalf of longtime comics professional, Larry Shell, whose artist friends have donated this and other pieces to assist him in this time of need.

There's all sorts of neat Non-Dave stuff, like Neal Adams, Art Spiegelman, Gilbert Hernandez, Rick Veitch, Shannon Wheeler, Carl Barks, Rob Walton, Howard Chaykin, and more!


Okay, I done did what I was axed to do, see you tomorrow!

Next Time: More reviews?

Off topic - but my remastered "Jaka's Story" arrived Friday, and I had time to look it over yesterday.

Holy Mackerel. Superlatives escape me. I've been longing for years for the definitive, hardcover editions to come out, but this is as close as I'm going to see as long as Dave Sim is alive, and it was worth the wait.

I made it about halfway through the first issue (I can't help thinking of it that way, as that's the only way I'd ever read Cerebus before the remasters began) in an hour or so, as my eye kept drinking in the rich detail. The woodwork. The stone walls. The facial expressions. The sound effects. All of it as crisp and clear as if I were looking at the originals, straight out of Dave and Ger's workshop.

The restoration, the paper, the binding - man, this is a treasure. Take a bow, Sean & whoever else was involved.

The Larry Shell Heritage Auction link isn't working for me - did some research and think maybe this is the correct one?
