A few years ago I scanned all of Dave Sim's notebooks. He had filled 36 notebooks during the years he created the monthly Cerebus series, covering issues #20 to 300, plus the other side items -- like the Epic stories, posters and prints, convention speeches etc. A total of 3,281 notebook pages detailing his creative process. I never really got the time to study the notebooks when I had them. Just did a quick look, scanned them in and sent them back to Dave as soon as possible. So this regular column is a chance for me to look through those scans and highlight some of the more interesting pages.

That Melmoth logo wasn't the one that was used though.

Those Melmoth covers were Gerhard's best work. I stole the design of the streetlamp from him for the cover of "Cerebus Readers in Crisis #1". When I told him that I done so, his response was, "you bastard!" Very tongue-in-cheek.
