Any other Brits having difficulty tracking down a copy of The Death of Cerebus In Hell? As far as I can see, copies haven't made their way over here to the UK yet. Did it hit American shops on time, or is there a wider problem?
My copy arrived in the post last week. I have a standing order with Page 45 in Nottingham - highly recommended if you live in the UK and can't get to a comic shop.
Thanks, Lee. I've just given Page 45 a ring and they couldn't have been more helpful. Not sure what's going on with the London shops, though. Neither Orbital nor Gosh! have yet listed the book in their new comics lists, despite Page 45 telling me their copies arrived from Diamond in the usual way. Probably just some silly cock-up with those two individual shops' deliveries if I had to guess.
I asked one of the guys in Gosh! about this today, and he told me it must have failed to show up in Diamond's UK solicitations, except perhaps as a late addition. He said they would certainly have ordered the book if he'd known it was out, and confirmed that Gosh! intended to continue ordering the Cerebus number 1s in future.
Oh, you Brits, with your foreign language and all. "some silly cock-up" Reminds me of the lines from Lord Julius and Cerebus(?): "Ich-ray? Ilthy-fay. Upid-stay? Ery-vay. Don't mind us. When we get together we like to speak the old language." Or, something like that--once again, too lazy to go check.

I got my copy from the FP in Glasgow on release day. I do have it on my standing order though.
