Currently reading Cerebus - at issue 50 and says: "...have a wonderful sense of humour, and it's a perfect example of something where it's derived from a lot of dramatic tension that's undercut by the absurdity of the whole thing. Really delicate balance, on top of some great artwork and direction."

Incoming Message From The Big Giant Head: Cerebus Sword & Flames covers

 Hi, Everybody!

The Cerebus Sword & Flames covers are apparently a "Hot" ticket item.

Besides #5, which has been sold to Lou, #7 has been sold to Adam.

Jen and Larry wanted #s 15 and 11, despite Dave only having drawn and painted nine of these (and #s 1 and 9 going to Heritage for future auctions...) Which Dave has completed.

FURTHER complicating things, Michael R. (Of the Easton Pennsylvania Rs, naturally), paid for #26 (his Cerebus Archive Number.) This despite Dave only having 22 covers.

Michael said:

Hi Matt!

I'm in.

After this email I'm going to Cerebus Downloads and GULP! plunking down $600 Canadian for an Aardvark Short Sword Sketch Cover. WHAT AM I INSANE!!! ... but Grace and I scalped tickets in last minute to see The Stones. The scalper wanted $600. CANADIAN!!!! SOLD!!!! Who knows if we're EV-VAH GONNA see Mick, Keef and the boys again. It was encore time. It was the 26th song of the set, "Can You Here Me Knockin". It was AWESOME!!! Grace was hoping for "Brown Sugar". We missed it. It was played earlier. If it's possible for Right Hand Drawing Dave Sim Hand, can he possibly draw the MOST HOLIEST bad @$$ #26 Aardvark Short Sword blank cover Cerebus #1 cover ever for anybody living in Easton, Pennsylvania.

Michael

I called Dave and left a message wherein I said, in part, "I say number it 26 and say 'sequential numbering is SO twentieth century!'."

Dave responds thusly:

So, 2-4, 6, 8, all still available, more a-comin'.

Next time: Oliver, unless I have to do another update from my phone. (Hopefully this reads okay...)

I only got a minute

 Hi, Everybody!

My foot's outside the door, so figure these out:

Wait, what's that below what Dave's signing?

Okay, Moment.

There's all sorts of fun in the post below this.

Next Time: Oliver, as long as I make it back in time...

Dave Sim's Cerebus Notebooks: The Covers

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.

A quick one this week as I’m writing it a couple weeks in advance as I’m going to be on vacation when this is posted. . .so hello from the past. 

I was wondering what all 36 notebook covers would look like if I had them all at once and could put them on the floor and take a picture. Since Dave only sent a couple at a time, I never did that. And to be honest, I’d probably wouldn’t have though to do it at the time. I only took a couple pictures of the notebooks themselves; my focus was on scanning them and getting them back to Dave. 

So I’ve done the next best thing. No, I haven’t traveled to the Off White House to take the picture myself. I photo-shopped it. Be advised, that you can click the picture below, but it is pretty big in size. 

The numbering starts from the top left corner with notebook #1 and going right to #6, and then the next row of covers starts with #7 at the far left, etc. So notebook #36 is the bottom right corner. 

A few notes:

• Notebook 6: had no cover, so that is page 1. And yes, page 1 was loose.

• Notebook 7: while it has a cover, it had come off the wire binding at some point.

I tried keeping the sizes relative – so the 3” x 5” notebooks are smaller than the 8.5” x 11” notebooks.

All the notebook covers

SOCIH? V5 and V6 Hardcover campaign goes LIVE at NOON!

Benjamin Hobbs:

The Swords of Cerebus In Hell? Volume 5 and 6 Hardcovers Kickstarter should go live at noon today. (As I'm writing this I'm still figuring out details on the KS page.)  The campaign will last for 21 days! 

You can back the campaign by clicking on the link below, starting at noon!

In addition to the add-ons shown last week, the 2018 Christmas card will be offered, updated to 2021. (Update still in progress)

 Laura McFarland (Co-writer of Strangers In Cerebus and The Unethical Spider-Vark) has been hard at work painting a BRAND NEW Christmas card for 2021:

This is a composite of a painting she created earlier this year and a NEW painting of Cerebus that Laura has been working hard on!

She is still working on the sword.  The Cerebus painting will be up for sale on the KS as soon as it's done! (The painting Cerebus is being composited into will be hanging over our couch this Christmas season.)

Next Week: Vark-tober fun?
