The Gavin Callaghan Situation, cont. (Dave's Weekly Update #363)

Hi, Everybody!

Previously-recorded-at-an-earlier-date from 
the Off-White House in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, It's:
Aardvark-Vanaheim Founder and President:
Dave Sim, with his Weekly Update:

This is apparently the sequel update from this one.

I don't have a website for Gavin (sound off if you see this Gavin!), but I DO have scans of his cover:

And Dave's mock-up of his cover:

(I also have scans of Dave's corrections, but I'm not posting them...)

TOMORROW, is Halloween. And NO trick ALL treats:
Greetings backers!

Today brings a big update to the Remastered SPAWN 10 Kickstarter.

1. Dave Sim has created a fantastic new variant cover just in time for Halloween. This variant will come with a frightful, secret, trick-or-treat bundle of new collectibles we are creating exclusively for what may be the rarest variant of this issue! The HALLOWEEN VARIANT bundle will be available for only 24 hours on October 31st, starting at 12:01 am EST tonight and ending at 11:59pm tomorrow night. For the dealers and super fans out there, you will be able to pick up packages of multiple copies at deep discounts. The variant is available as an add-on item which you can add to your pledge through the pledge manager. The print run of this variant will be strictly limited to the number of copies sold during the 24 hour Halloween window.

2. For those of you who are picking up the BONUS BUNDLE, we are upgrading the enamel Cloisonné pin with glow in the dark eyes for the full-on eerie effect!

3. We have added an additional add-on bundle which contains 54 pieces of original SPAWN 10 art by Dave Sim. This collection consists of nearly every piece of preliminary art created by Sim for this landmark edition. You will receive mostly pencil on tracing paper, some ink and collage pasteups and bluelines hand marked by Sim. There is even an unfinished cover in the collection. All of the work is being offered in one lot to one lucky backer and is available now!

Happy Halloween everyone and thank you for your support!

This is through the Spawn #10 Kickstarter

AND this is the "Censored-For-Grandma" variant. The UNCENSORED wraparound cover will be available from cerebusdownloads.com here's Dave's Sales pitch:
MOST! CONTROVERSIAL! BACK! COVER! EVER! reads the front cover banner on the AARDVARK-VANAHEIM SPAWN 10 HALLOWEEN EDITION. Are you easily offended? Then DON'T buy this one. $75 Canadian (roughly $58 US) with postage included SIGNED BY DAVE SIM. Want to know what the controversy is? The only way to find out is to buy one. Available only for 24 hours between 12:01 OCT 31 and 12:01 NOV 1 at cerebusdownloads.com. Just hit the HALLOWEEN EDITION $75 CDN button. "I will never be able to afford an original Ghastly Graham Ingels HAUNT OF FEAR cover, so this is the next best thing -- draw my own while I'm still (sort of) able," says CEREBUS creator Dave Sim. This is ONLY being announced here on A MOMENT OF CEREBUS so it might well be the RAREST CEREBUS COMIC BOOK ever. MACHINE NUMBERED OUT OF HOWEVER MANY COPIES ARE SOLD IN THE 24 HOURS (plus #1, 2 and 3 for THE CEREBUS ARCHIVE).

NOTE - Please don't show the HALLOWEEN EDITION back cover on AMOC. You can show the GRANDMA EDITION back cover.
I'm not even sure if I have that in my pile, check back tomorrow...

Remastered Spawn #10 Preliminary Art



HERMANN #1 has gotten FOCed.

I hope you picked up the Vault of Cerebus this past Wednesday. 

Next month, pick up Spider-Whore.

Signed copies of Vark Wars: Walt's Empire Strikes Back (Signed by Dave, Signed by Dave and me, Signed by me after I scribble out Dave's name, Pretty much available Signed only...).
 
Check out the new Cerebus masks and whatnots. PENIS and XXXXX added. (I'm not adding the Second Print cover unless there is actual demand.)

As you all know, Wilf Jenkins was the Aardvark/Vanaheim lawyer for years, and during that time he was on the comp list. Wilf saved all his copies. Dave and Wilf have signed them, and there's a certificate of authenticity. The books will be available from Looking For Heroes, for $10 (CAD) plus $4 dollars shipping to Canada and $5 dollars shipping to the USA. All the money goes to the Food Bank of the Waterloo Region.

Next Time: I got a pile of faxes and emails from Dave about this Spawn #10 Halloween cover. So, that.

Okay, that was from nearly two months ago, apparently. Hope you're well, Dave.

It astounds me how someone can ask Dave for help (support, a credit, a kind word, etc.) and then turn around and denigrate him, publicly.

Or, how anyone can do that to anyone else.

To Dave's credit, he has learned (by hard lessons) to take it with equanimity.

Jeff S. apparently thinks "equanimity" means "whining about it for the rest of his life".
