Geez, who fired the cleaning lady?

Hi, Everybody!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner:

Andrew has won:

For $150 American Dollars!

So, Andrew, if you could email momentofcerebus@gmail.com I'll put you in touch with Carson and you two can hash out all the details and leave me out of it...

Winner Winner Pinwheel Spinner

So on this month's Please Hold For Dave Sim, I instituted a contest:

First person to find the backcover Dave was talking about and sends it in to momentofcerebus@gmail.com gets a Cerebus in Hell? rarity, either Batvark: PENIS (Virgin Cover), Hermann #1 (HRM Edition), or the misprinted Cerebus in Hell? 2021. (Their choice.) ((the later two signed by Manly Matt Dow.))

And wouldn't ya know, Michael R. of Easton Pennsylvania (AMOC fan #1) caused AND won this contest:

Hi Matt!

Dave was correct. it was Joe Kubert and not Will Eisner. I guess that's why I didn't bring " A Contract With God" for him to sign. Even though I was a fan of of Sgt. Rock and Our world At War when I was real young, I didn't own anything that Joe could sign. I'm pretty sure that I still don't. So I met Dave first, spoke with Joe and then moved on to Stephen Bissette. I must have some kind of dyslexia. We had a camera and didn't take one single photo for proof.

But onto the contest. Cerebus issue 229 on the back cover DOES show Dave, Joe Steve and John Severin which I did attend, but screwed up the line up and thinking Will for Joe.

Michael

And sent in an image:

So he wins. Michael (I know your reading this... Hi Grace!) lemme know which one you want: 

Batvark: PENIS (Virgin Cover), 

Hermann #1 (HRM Edition), 

the misprinted Cerebus in Hell? 2021 #1.

He also said:

Hi Matt!
Just flipping through the issue before I put it away and noticed that Jeff Seiler from Sedalia, MO had written Dave a letter. Just in case if Jeff wants to find that issue and sees what he had written. It's also the issue that Dave sits down at the bar, orders a Coor's Light and has his talk with Cerebus.
Michael

Pretty sure Jeff knows, Michael, pretty sure he knows...

AND, frequent AMOC Special Friend of the Day, Jesse Lee Herndon sent in:

Hi Matt,

Enclosed is the back cover of issue 229, with Dave and company at the Heavy Metal signing. I assume someone beat me to it, but here it is again anyway!

Click for bigger

Well, never let it be said that I let a Special Friend down, so Jesse wins too.

Jesse, pick one:

Batvark: PENIS (Virgin Cover), 

Hermann #1 (HRM Edition), 

the misprinted Cerebus in Hell? 2021 #1.

(And yes, you can pick the same one as Michael. I got it covered.)

Ask not for Whom the Bell Tolls, it tolls for the Old Man (the Sea not-so-much...)

(I forget the handle I gave him) Sean Robinson (I've typed "Michael" too many times today...) sent me:

Hemingway in Comics by Robert K. Elder

Check out the blurb:

Ernest Hemingway casts a long shadow in literature—reaching beyond his status as a giant of 20th-century fiction and a Nobel Prize winner—extending even into comic books. Appearing variously with Superman, Mickey Mouse, Captain Marvel, and Cerebus, he has even battled fascists alongside Wolverine in Spain and teamed up with Shade to battle adversaries in the Area of Madness.

Where can you get this expansive tome that Sean helped get pages for (And I scanned some of the covers. Because it's what I do...)? Well, accordig to Robert K. Elder:

And yes, please support these local bookstores, which have signed copies and ship internationally:
https://www.booktable.net/
https://www.centuriesandsleuths.com/
Best,
Rob

So, skip Amazon, shop small and get 'em signed(!)
