And then:

If you've enjoyed this, and DON'T own a digital copy of Cerebus Volume 1 (or any of the other volumes), Dave's planning on running once a month sales:

I guess the plan is to make the (almost but not quite) Whole shebang $99CAD Cerebus phonebook collection (collecting Cerebus 1-50, 52-111, 114-136, half of 138, and 139-300. See, Cerebus #0 isn't part of the deal...I should get somebody on that...) $49CAD one day a month (I know which days, but I'ma not supposed to tell anybody too early...) and $25CAD for four hours, 10am-2pm, on a different day once a month (ditto).

The first Bonus Day is *supposed* to be...April first.

And Dave's been thinking...

He is seeing if he can get more traffic to amomentofcerebus.com and also some more traffic and potential sales on cerebusdownloads.com.

By sending out postcards?

I guess the plan is to make the (almost but not quite) Whole shebang $99CAD Cerebus phonebook collection (collecting Cerebus 1-50, 52-111, 114-136, half of 138, and 139-300.

I mean, Dave hasn't been around the joint since I took over, so I don't think he knows what kind of "Geez are they turning that place into a Spirit Halloween soon?" vibe I've let the place achieve...

But, it's his deal. (I wonder if he told George. I think he sometimes forgets that I don't got nothing to do with cerebusdownloads.com...that's a "George" deal.)

The first Bonus Day is *supposed* to be...April first.

So..."Don't be a FOOL and miss out!"

Next Time: Cerebus is planning on sacking Palnu.

Ghostly Tales (Direct Market 101) (Dave's weekly update #634)

Hi, Everybody!

Aardvark-Vanaheim and StudioComix Press Announce the Historic Kickstarter Launch of Cerebus the Aardvark #1

For several years now, Canadian publishers Aardvark-Vanaheim and StudioComix Press have been working to adapt the famous Cerebus the Aardvark comic series to Latin American Spanish. The adventures of this iconic character, created by Dave Sim in 1977, will finally be available through a Kickstarter campaign in March 2026 thanks to the support of Telésforo é Hilario and Humo Humberto Morales.

Cerebus the Aardvark (Cerebus) is a cult classic and a pioneering work of the worldwide independent comics movement. Cerebus gained global recognition for its editorial independence, the evolution of its story from a comedy adventure into complex political and social commentary, and for the tireless work of Dave Sim, earning it a Guinness World Record for its uninterrupted continuity across 6,000 pages.

This first issue of Cerebus will be published in a special limited run of only 1,000 numbered copies. Three variant covers will also be available drawn by Dave Sim, Craig Ferguson, and Antonio Alfaro, making them collector's items for alternative comic readers.

This historic release will also include, for the first time, a limited-edition collector's edition of Spawn TEN, the memorable collaboration between Todd McFarlane and Dave Sim, presented with remastered art, and incorporating previously unpublished material and new covers by Dave Sim and Humo Humberto Morales.

Both titles will be available to the public for 60 days, starting in late March 2026, in limited numbers for fans, collectors, and new readers in the Latin American market. Thanks to the Kickstarter platform, you can obtain either comic under the title "CEREBUS #1 & SPAWN TEN in Spanish" or through the following link:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/vitzi1/cerebus-1-en-espanol-and-spawn-diez

We invite you to join us in this historic launch for Spanish-language comics by sharing this news and following the updates on this highly anticipated edition.

Okay, so that was the last week on AMOC. You're welcome. I do this out of stubborn pigheadedness/pride/ because I'm not too bright for free, but if you got a couple of bucks (I don't know how that's possible, given the links to neat stuff in this post, but Hey! I've been wrong before and will probably be so again (real soon)...), and wanna leave Dave a "tip", there's these "donate to the Dave Sim Fund" buttons somewhere on CerebusDownloads.com (I didn't lay out that place, and I didn't have nothin' to do with the latest redesign, so don't come at me if you have troubles over there...), and you can give Dave all the money you care too. (There's also links there that will help you buy all the stuff...) Did I mention Dave turns seventy in May?

Notebook 21: Agreements and Illustrations

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.

We’re continuing our look at Dave Sim’s 21st notebook used during the creation of Cerebus #164 to 187. We’ll be looking at this notebook, which there were 260 out of 300 pages scanned, until we’ve seen every single page of it. Well, the pages scanned. If you want to see all of the notebook #21 posts to date, just use the Notebook 21 tag. 

~*~~~*~

For the last few weeks we’ve been looking at piles and piles of snow. Umm. No, that was me. And the snow from the Blizzard of ’26 melted finally. Well, the stuff in my front lawn did. There are still piles around  town nearly one month later after several rain storms and days of unseasonably warm weather. 

But no, for the last few weeks we’ve been looking at pages with piles and piles of words. So many words. So many. But today. Today we have mention of illustrations and a small bit of text:

Notebook #21, page 145

The page numbers circle do indeed correspond to page numbers in Cerebus #175 which have illustrations. Page 15 also has an illustration as well. Then with page 16 it switches to the comic narrative with Po, Cirin, Cerebus, and Astoria. 

The text states:

These amendments had been made necessary when a number of authors and illustrators had determined that contracts with Vertigo Horse licsenscees liscensors had been signed which covered in reprints and translations which were not covered in their original agreements.

And while the next page doesn’t have a wall of text. . .it really would’ve been better with some?

Notebook #21, page 146

If you are looking for some more text, you can look at pages 147 through 149 which we covered in Dialogue from Reads.
