Weekly Update #10: 'Cerebus' & 'High Society' Reprinting

Previously on 'A Moment Of Cerebus':
Dave Sim, working with George Peter Gatsis, has remastered the first two collected volumes of Cerebus to restore details and quality in the artwork lost over the thirty years since they were originally published (as detailed here and here). After Cerebus' original printer Preney Print closed its doors, Dave Sim moved his printing to Lebonfon in 2007 as at that time they were still capable of working with photographic negatives and making printing plates as Preney had done. And then Lebonfon switched to digital scanning and printing - a technology which struggles to faithfully reproduce Cerebus' tone without creating moire patterns (as detailed in Crisis On Infinite Pixels). Dave Sim continues to work with Lebonfon to ensure the print-quality of the new Cerebus and High Society editions (as detailed in Collections Stalled). Now read on...

George Gatsis uploaded the last 12 pages requiring one more digital proof printing from Lebonfon at 7:30pm December 15.

Patrick Jodion is "en vacances" but Project Manager Josee Michaud reports that the final set of proofs were shipped to George's Black Diamond Effect offices in Toronto on Wednesday December 18.

Merci et Joyeux Noel!
