I know today was supposed to be more of my reviews of Cerebus in Hell? (which you could support by getting a postcard from the Kickstarter...), but I got a message from Dave, so wearing my "Go-And-Get-Whatever-He-Wants-As-Long-As-it-Ain't-Loaded Wise Fellow" hat:
Hey Matt,
Could you put this on the Moment of Cerebus website.

Off topic - but my remastered "Jaka's Story" arrived Friday, and I had time to look it over yesterday.
Holy Mackerel. Superlatives escape me. I've been longing for years for the definitive, hardcover editions to come out, but this is as close as I'm going to see as long as Dave Sim is alive, and it was worth the wait.
I made it about halfway through the first issue (I can't help thinking of it that way, as that's the only way I'd ever read Cerebus before the remasters began) in an hour or so, as my eye kept drinking in the rich detail. The woodwork. The stone walls. The facial expressions. The sound effects. All of it as crisp and clear as if I were looking at the originals, straight out of Dave and Ger's workshop.
The restoration, the paper, the binding - man, this is a treasure. Take a bow, Sean & whoever else was involved.
The Larry Shell Heritage Auction link isn't working for me - did some research and think maybe this is the correct one?
