Cerebus Around the World and Web #6 by Oliver Simonsen

Hi, Everybody!

The Silver Cerebus

And Friend to the Blog, Greg Hyland is running the next volume of The Monster Atlas on Kickstarter. And he says:

Also, I got confirmation today that Gerhard is going to contribute new art to the book! We'll include him if we reach our $4000 Stretch Goal. So share the Monster Atlas word and help make sure we meet that goal! As soon as I have something to show you. I'll send you a preview.

Trying out a "Big Cerebus News" intro:)

Cerebus in the news at "DC Comics News" - from the review: "Quinones also seamlessly goes from one artist homage to another seamlessly. And he doesn’t need a dial to do it. Some of the nods are towards Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Cerebus. His greatest attribute as an artist is the tribute he pays to these styles"
https://dccomicsnews.com/2019/12/09/review-dial-h-for-hero-9/?fbclid=IwAR2LJMJFIKCZSENLygf19yrS6sEBYRn-TKnAZGf5tyzua4RE3FdDAcSUozw

Comic legend Gail Simone asked what comic that has NOT been made into a theatrical film would you most like to see on the big screen? To which everybody and their mother replied Cerebus, of course:).

The AVclub's wish for a Cerebus movie springs to mind:
"An adaptation would be an incredible challenge...it would be a shame if no one ever tried to expand its audience."

Italian review of Cerebus issues 1-6 (thank you google translate):
Cerebus the comic is what the ' "Ulysses" of Joyce and "The Search of Lost Time" of Proust are to literature.
It is difficult to tell in a few lines why Dave Sim is one of the greatest and most influential comics authors ever (at least, as far as comics are concerned ): suffice it to say that under the motto of «I will break every law of comics»In his long pseudo-fantasy epic he brought to the limit all the grammatical features of the comic

A look at Canadian comic history that gives maybe insight into the backdrop, the general atmosphere, surrounding the "Godfather of Indie's" creation Cerebus. From the article: "The Springtime of BDQ lasted approximately seven years, from 1968-1975" "...certain creators and titles played a role in the creation of Croc in 1979, which is the longest-running title from the Canadian Silver Age other than Cerebus."

Cerebus has since it's inception had a love affair with parodies, you could say it's in it's DNA, so with the "Wonder Woman 1984" trailer dropping this past week here's "The Wonder Vark Years" set to Simple Minds' hit song "81, 82, 83, 84" (it came out in 1982 before their mega hit song "Don't you forget about me" in the 1985 ultimate GenX film "Breakfast Club")

Award season has kicked off this past week with the announcement of the Golden Globe nominees - here's Cerebus in last years' winner for Best Foreign Film, "Roma"

We've also done others (not spending enough time on any to do them properly admittedly)
"The Joker"

With most of these it's hard to remember what the poster and PR campaign was...
Aladdin

How to train your dragon 2

Clint Eastwood's "The Mule"

Bohemian Rhapsody

First Man

The Grinch

The Meg

The Predator

The Vark? Anyway etc:)

Review of Cerebus Archive Number Five: "Production is top-notch."
https://aeindex.org/reviews/cerebus-archive-number-five/

In somewhat related news:

Barry Windsor Smith whose Conan run inspired so much in the creation of Cerebus has announced the release of his long awaited 250-plus page Graphic Novel "Monster" next year
https://www.newsarama.com/48237-barry-windsor-smith-s-monsters-coming-in-2020.html
Barry btw has said that Dave Sim is the best storyteller in the field today.

Bernie Wrightson, who was also a Cerebus influence (and not to mention Vark Thing!)
http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.com/2015/03/bernie-wrightsons-badtime-stories.html
has had sold a drawing for 1.2 million.
https://www.newsarama.com/48259-original-art-for-wrightson-s-frankenstein-cover-for-marvel-sells-for-1-2-million.html
Bernie Wrightson passed away and as pointed out by Stephen Bissette (also of Swamp Thing fame): It is a sad and all too common occurrence as such fortunes happen after an artist has died. Bernie left this world struggling with medical debts

RIP John Mundt, 54 years old and part of the b&w indie comics revolution inspired by the Godfather of Indie Dave Sim. His indie comic was The Adventures of Monkey praised by the likes of Neil Gaiman, Jeff Smith and Scott McCloud
