Wanna give Team Cerebus In Hell? the monies, but don't wanna deal with the hassle of going to a comicbook store and tracking down a copy of the latest Cerebus in Hell?

So looking through my copy of Comics Scene #8:

| Admit it, you think I'm gonna post the Dave and Deni interview, don't you? |
I found an ad for The Illustrated Comic Art Workshop:
"Stan Drake" I said to myself, "I wonder if Dave has ever seen this?"
Well, this being the 21st Century, I consulted The Google, and found a site where a guy had uploaded scans:
Here is Stan Drake's section from the first part: (if you click them, they get bigger:)
I faxed 'em up to Dave, but haven't heard back yet. I also sent the PDFs to Eddie Khanna, and he was pretty enthusiastic.
(I dig the part on page 9 where Drake talks about Alex Raymond...)
Enjoy, everybody!
Next Time: Hobbs tries to top this (and fails miserably...)

What a find!
Absolutely terrifying how fast he could finish a daily! FOUR HOURS!?@!!#@#$%#^%&@%|$^
What size shirt does Dave wear these days?
Anonymous,
Men's Medium.
Matt
Much appreciated, Matt.
This is priceless. It's always fascinating reading when artists in my favorite medium - comics - write about their craft. Thanks!
Speaking of "my favorite medium" - In Stock Trades (see link in the right margin of AMOC, under the "Page 45" logo) now has the Jaka's Story remaster. I ordered mine yesterday.
"Always be original as you possibly can." Sage advice that, obviously, 32-some years later, DVS took to heart. And, followed.
Tony? When/if Dave ships me five copies of C&SII (and, why the eff would he), if you can answer a (relatively) easy trivia question about the book, then you'll get a copy. Free, gratis.
You know, like I just got done doin'.
Jeff
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't know *any* of the JS answers off the top of my head, and didn't want to dig out the longbox my Cerebus issues are in.
I am no longer worthy to be called a Simcophant.
What issue of Jaka’s story did Tony have a letter printed in Aardvark-Comment? First person to answer wins a copy of the Remastered JAKA’s STORY from me ( you might have to wait a bit to get it though).
-Eddie
Tony who? ;)
BTW, Eddie, if you are *that* deep into "Cerebus" arcanea, then you really *should* be the next guy.
I actually don't wanna be, plus, Canada, as a country, doesn't really care for me. But, they think that I'm a nice enough American. Eh?
I spotted a copy of the remastered Jaka's Story on display in London's Orbital Comics on Wednesday. With luck my mail order copy from Page 45 will arrive today!
Jeff, I wish I could say it was from encyclopedic knowledge of all things Cerebus, but I had to look at the issue while researching a Comic Art Metaphysics moment while proofing Jaka’s Story. Which was weird; okay don’t know why his letter is in here, but just remember it is, and maybe it will come in useful somewhere.
Eddie
Eddie, did you see my comment on the one error we both missed?
Eddie, I just re-read some of our emails from a while back. You and I should stay in touch more often, bro-friend!
Especially if we're going to co-proofread the other eight volumes.
Jeez, it was just a fanboy LOC...nothing metaphysical about that. Trivia, yes indeedy...
Ahh I meant it was Comic Art Metaphysics the thing I was looking up, not finding your letter (although that was interesting too). I don't think anyone's going to get it. Did you want it? Or did you want to donate it to a Cerebus fan in need, who can't afford to get one at this time? Or both and I'll give out 2 copies?
"Or did you want to donate it to a Cerebus fan in need, who can't afford to get one at this time?"
That sounds good. I certainly don't need 2.
Any Cerebus fan in need out there, who can't afford to get a copy of the remastered Jaka's Story? Or anyone know of someone? Or more than one person?
Been there, done that, and I hsve a few CEREBUS t-shirts.
If yer gonna give away books, Eddie, ya gots to axe trivia questions. Like: Who were Jaka's first and last "boyfriends". And, no fair saying "Lord Julius".
