Cover in CRISIS!


Benjamin Hobbs:

Last week, the surprise topical issue of Cerebus In Hell?, CRISIS IN INFINITE QUARANTINE was released online.  The book was put together in 3-5 days (I can't properly recall, I'm sure comic-historians will sort it out.)

The cover managed to go through a lot of changes in that time.

To start with, I edited the cover of CRISIS OF INFINITE CEREBI, swapping out the Cerebi for ones that have been in the book since then. (And some that haven't.)


Matt suggested adding some caption boxes, which can be seen below.  Dave's fax machine was out of ink until Thursday (a day after the release of the book), so I sent to cover to him as an outline:

Dave sent back this fax, which incorporated Sean's "Pappy just wanted a few PECKAROOS!" dialogue:

However, I had already altered the cover, removing Cerebus as the central figure and placing the Coronavirus in the middle and adding some text that references the inside of the book.  The PECKAROO balloon should definitely be updated to look more like Dave's (should the book ever be updated for print) :

In all the rush, I'm not sure if the final cover actually made it's way to Dave.

If you haven't read the book yet, it's available HERE for FREE.

Next week: VARKING DEAD reactions?!?
