Listen, I DON'T just wanna run faxes from Dave, but I got ELEVEN PAGES OF THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, Everybody!

It's a VARK-tober Fax-a-palooza! (Which is the nice way of saying that if the Wife hogs the desktop for three days, I'ma run a weeks worth of posts in a day to catch up on the pile...)

Where to begin?

Quit Russian me...

(see, if you click "Russian", it'll take you to the last post of the faxes between Dave and Mikhail. Anyway:)

Speaking of The Russian...

Mikhail asked me:

Since I now communicate with Dave, thanks to you, I would like to indicate your name in thanks section in comics. Please tell me if the Matt Dow (Мэтт Доу) option is acceptable?

Of course I told him "yes", why wouldn't I?

And he sent me:

I'm thanked third.

So I got THAT going for me...

Next:

I got mail:

Problems viewing this video? Watch directly on YouTube...

As I said, Steve was "annoyed" by these images:

I mean, I count only twenty-five...

Only twenty-four in this one...

Anyway, I got an email:

Hey Matt,

Here are some photos from Dave. These are the extra KS proof copies that needed to be destroyed.

Have a great day.
DS

Wait for it Steve, wait for it...

Speaking of Cerebus #2 Remastered:

Update:

1. Books are being printed.

2. The "Proof Set" of 5 books featuring all 5 of Dave Sim's new covers. After reviewing this draft Dave made significant changes to the book. If you picked up one of these proof sets then you will getting a version of the remastered Cerebus No. 2 that is a lot different from the final production book. There are only 30 signed and numbered sets of all 5 and we have a few left on Indiegogo here - https://igg.me/at/SChiqELdzc0/x/19431546#/

Obviously, #19 isn't available. 'cause it's down in the AMOCave...

3. The glow in the dark "Demon Khem" trading cards arrived and they turned out great! We photographed the front and back of the card and attempted to capture it in all it's glowing glory. The glowing effect was difficult to capture clearly in a pitch black room but you can see that it works. It's much cooler in person!

They ask me to rewrite this stuff in my own words, but I can't do it for this one... 

4. The rest of the extras are in production.

Next:

Cerebus in Hell?:

Cerebus in Hell? 2022

Swords of Cerebus in Hell? Volume 10

And Hobbs's Swords of Cerebus in Hell? Kickstarter ends on Wednesday. 

Speaking of Kickstarters:

Friend to the Blog, Gary Boyarski, is Kickstartering his next issue of Jack Grimm: Harbinger of Death. With Dave AND Gerhard art on variant covers.

Addendum:

Back to the Fax Machine:

Yesterday I got from Dave:

Whoa whoa whoa Sim!

I'm gonna cut you off there, and let the good AMOC readers SEE the pages BEFORE they read your take, so that you don't colour their perceptions like you did me...

Okay, everybody see the pages? Anybody got an idea what's happening? Because once you read Dave's guesses, you won't be able to see anything else. *Avert your eyes lest ye go blind*:

I mean, I read this BEFORE I saw the pages, and now I can't see anything else when I look at them...

Next:

Auctions:

Heritage, has:

the original art to Dave's New Cerebus #1 cover (see, Dave wanted Dagon to offer a new cover for Cerebus #1 on the Cerebus #2 Kickstarter, but that didn't happen(?) (I don't think...) anyway, here it is:

I've seen the colored version. It's hilarious...

They also got High Society Regency Edition #5 (with #4 and #3 coming soon. And 2 and 1 will be "live" by Thanksgiving...) 

And a 9.8 Graded copy of Epic Illustrated #16, SIGNED by Barry Windsor-Smith (Arnold the Issurian appears in that one.)

And Dave's still selling them Aardvark: Short Sword & Flames, right here on AMOC.

Merch:

The AMOC TeePublic Shoppe

Up to 35% off site-wide:

October 30 – 31

Tell your fans! Remind them that everything will be up to 35% off -- that means $13 tees, $20 phone cases, $30 hoodies, and way more!

I should probably add some new stuff...

Your friend and mine:

Sean Michael Robinson has made an album

https://seanmichaelrobinson.bandcamp.com/releases
https://music.apple.com/us/album/mismenagerie/1586540064...

And he and Carson have a Patreon.

And SODAR is coming! SODAR is coming!

The Strange Death of Alex Raymond HC corrected copies are scheduled to arrive in stores with product on sale November 10th!

Just an fyi-- if you are one of those "lucky" 199 folks who had a Strange Death of Alex Raymond misprint shipped to you by Amazon, and you want a corrected printing with all the pages, you'll need to request an exchange and indicate you want a replacement copy. Put "misprinred copy-- pages missing" or something similar in your "reason" field!

The book will be in comic stores Nov 10th and book stores two weeks or so later

Please Hold For Dave Sim:

Barring any unforeseen difficulties, Dave's calling on Thursday. If you got a burning question, please, Please, PLEASE sent it to momentofcerebus@gmail.com. I got a couple, but can ALWAYS use more...

That's it, that's all I got:

Well, except this:

I know the lack of pupils is canonical, but it still creeps me out...

Plus, I like the strips...

________________________

And THANK YOU again to the Mad Cerebus Gifter. I meant what I said in the video. If you want a set of Manly Matt Dow Cerebus in Hell? issues, signed and...well not personalized if you want to maintain your anonymity... just let me know through Dave, and they're yours. In fact, if I send them to you through Dave, he might sign them too... But really, Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Already hung in the "Hall of Solitude"
photo by the five year old.

Thanks, no, really.

 

Next Time: I just GAVE you a week's worth of posts and you want more?!? You're insatiable!!!
