WAY early on before I had it whittled down to a series of wordless sight gags with sound effects..

He just couldn't face head-on that his Marvel work was devouring his life and he was never going to get anything else done. He actually got a surprising amount of other work done in terms of single illustrations or short comics stories or commercial jobs but he just couldn't face that it was, like, over, when it came to doing any other major projects under his control. <br /><br />I would always think, "Man, I don't want to be like that. That's scary." I'm wondering if I AM like that now with STRANGE DEATH OF ALEX RAYMOND. It is a little different because I've got 180 pages done and scanned and after I'm dead, someone will print those 180 pages somewhere. All of Gene's uncompleted work just got sold by Gale to a comic-store owner for a lump sum. "What was this for?" "How many pages of this are there?" No one would have any idea at this point, I don't think. <br /><br />Relatives are usually the worst when it comes to preserving material unless they're fellow devotees. Which Gale really wasn't.

Did a story like that ever appear in one of the Swords volumes? (I'm not up on all my Cerebus miscellanea.)<br /><br />Very cool stuff yet again, Margaret!<br />Travis Pelkiehttp://www.atomicjunkshop.comnoreply@blogger.com
