Cerebus Around the World and Web #113 by Oliver Simonsen

Oliver Simonsen:

"Strange Death of Alex Raymond" on Tripwire's Top 10 Graphic Novels Of 2021:
"It is his magnum opus. It is meta and meticulous. For those who got it as a gift this past Yule like me, it is a Christmas Miracle. And although, it’s near perfect, let’s see Sim do it again. Pretty please."

Dave Sim's childhood friend and Cerebus TV collaborator, Max Southall, has just uploaded on his long dormant "Cerebus TV" youtube account an old CerebusTV episode. CerebusTV was ahead of its time and so much fun - albeit a bit stressful at times trying to keep up with a weekly schedule. And if there ever was a take away it's this: we need to see Dave Sim act in a movie! He would crush it. Awards galore.
Not sure the particular reason for the upload and will touch base with Max. Hopefully the email I have still works. It certainly seems fitting enough as we look back on the early days of both "Strange Death of Alex Raymond" and the Cerebus film taking form. I see the old Dracula promo i made for the Gene Colan interview is in this episode as well. I think Max once mentioned something about releasing that interview? I might remember wrong.

The Cerebus film got some love from Carl Jones, Producer of "Boondocks" and "The Last OG" - and the showrunner on upcoming animated shows "Good Times" and "Young Love". Not to mention far out cartoon series such as "Lazor Wulf", "Sugar and Toys" and "The Jellies!"

And saving the best for last: can you spot a mega opportunity when you see one? An embarrassment of riches awaits.
Sean Michael Robinson: I'm in the mood to clean out my closet, which is currently full of my contributor copies of EVERY Waverly Cerebus publication, and all the Cerebus in Hell issues. This includes every single variant, doodad, knick-nack, prototype etc. I'm sorting through it all for selling in January
