Oliver Simonsen:
Cerebus on list of best Sword and Sorcery comics from the 70s -from the list: "Cerebus the Aardvark #1 (December 1977) was the best parody of S&S to appear in the 1970s. And I think it was because you could tell Dave Sim loved the sub-genre even as he poked fun."

Dion Turner: Ashcan arrived! I’m surprised because my remastered Cerebus #1 still isn’t here. This was probably easier to pull together.

I wanted to pop in and say that I joined this group to try being more up-to-date on the goings-on in Cerebusland.
I became fascinated with Cerebus (and Sim) about five or six years ago (despite collecting comics for the better part of the last thirty years) and have spent far too much on these recent Kickstarters.
To provide some content alongside this otherwise self-indulgent post, here's a Cerebus parody I did some years ago for a proposed Charlton Comics pin-up book that never happened. (I guess posting my own art is still self-indulgent, but there we are.)
This, too, was an extra thrown in to make up for the shipping delay

I believe this section of the story was inspired by the book "Of a Fire on the Moon." Has anyone read it?
Conrad Felber: Yes, though the edition I have bears the alternate title: "MoonFire: The Epic Journey of Apollo 11."

David Hartman: I usually try to avoid politics, but this opportunity was too good to pass up.

Ad, the RIGAMAROLE:
Spawn #10 Kickstarter, "What the HELL is going on with the Halloween exclusive cover:?" Glad you asked:
HALLOWEEN VARIANT
The October 31 flash sale generally worked as planned and was well received. Thank you to everyone who participated.
First, a software issue on the Kickstarter side seems to make it difficult to get the new add-on feature to work on some Android devices. A lot of you left comments and sent us messages about this issue and all we can say is that kickstarter is aware and working on a fix.
For those of you who couldn’t get the variant option to work on October 31, we are offering a makeup window on the last day of the campaign. The makeup edition will be printed with an alternate colored cover to set it apart from the October 31 edition but will otherwise be the same. Also, the October 31 edition and the makeup edition will both arrive individually numbered and both editions will come with the secret trick-or-treat bundle of collectibles exclusive to Kickstarter. The October 31 edition looks to be the rarest Spawn 10 variant so far. Will the makeup edition dethrone it? We will find out!
Second, as many of you are aware Dave Sim offered his own alternate version of this book offsite at the same time our edition we as offered on October 31st. We were not involved in the planning of that variant and we are not publishing or distributing that version. Had we known of those plans ahead of time we would have let everyone know and coordinated both editions. We are in talks with Dave Sim to see if that version can be offered on Kickstarter and will let you know if that will happen. The Kickstarter version has been described as the “Grandma” or “Censored” edition. In reality it is the same front cover art with primarily different text by Dave on the back cover. Nothing is blocked out or obscured as some people may think. For more information stay tuned here or check for similar updates at: momentofcerebus.blogspot.com.
Hi, again, Everybody!
SKETCH COVER
Some of you have expressed interest in purchasing the sketch cover variant that we currently have listed as a stretch reward. We want to make this campaign as enjoyable as possible for everyone and we consider all of your suggestions and requests. We will offer the sketch cover to every backer in the final 24 hours of the campaign including multiple copy bundles at deep discounts. We will modify the stretch goal so that instead of the sketch cover we will offer a new bonus for every backer regardless of your pledge level so everyone gets something if we hit the target. We will update the campaign page shortly to reflect this update.
We appreciate your suggestions and requests, keep them coming as we approach our final week stretch!
"What the HELL is going on with the Halloween exclusive variant cover from cerebusdownloads.com?" I'm glad you asked that too:

I'm signing and sending Dave five issues of his pick of numbers, but then I'ma offer the rest to the fine folks willing to give me money, kinda like I am with: 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...)

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.

Hey Matt,
I've decided to stop collecting CGC comics for a couple of reasons. They take up space and they drive me nuts wanting to crack them open. I've got a counterfeit #1 that ends tomorrow that has attracted a lot of attention and two bids. I didn't want to ask you to hawk my stuff, but if a loyal AMOC reader wants it they have 24 hours or so (yeah, that again). I've got issues #1 and #2 up right now and 6 others coming soon.
Thanks (if you don't want to then don't worry about it at all),
DB
