MARGARET LISS:
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.
We last looked at Dave Sim's fifteenth notebook, which covers Cerebus #118 through 122, in September of 2018 in
Oscar's Cigarettes.
On page 27 and then on page 29 there are almost full page sketches of a young Jaka opening the Locked Door.

| Notebook 15, page 29 |
In his sketches Jaka is motionless, just standing there. On the finished page, Jaka shows movement into the room beyond the locked door.

| Cerebus #119, page 19 (or page 121 of Jaka's Story) |
