Dave Sim talks to Kim Preney.

Hi, Everybody!

Before Neal Adams went and died on us, Dave sent me this:


In which he talks to Kim Preney of Preney Print & Litho, about the 90 copies of Cerebus #300 that they had on hand and which they've given back to Dave:


Speaking of the dearly departed Neal Adams, David Birdsong sent me Green Lantern/Green Arrow 83 Page 3 that Dave was talking about yesterday:

And speaking of Original Art, The Death's Dark Tread deal just keeps evolving...

The offer still stands at $5,528.11, but a new update has arrived, courtesy of Eddie Khanna:
Hi Matt. We thought this might be something you'd want to post on AMOC and the Facebooks.

So Sean, Dave and I have been quickly coordinating with getting useable hi-rez scans of upcoming CEREBUS artwork for sale from a particularly prominent High-End Auction Site, and we have a fan of the work who is willing to actually go to the site and do the scanning for us (for which we are ALL VERY GRATEFUL), since the auction house doesn’t do hi-rez scanning on behalf of others.

However, this does involve buying and shipping a new Sean Robinson approved scanner that can be used for this situation and whenever it arises in the future when more artwork comes on the market through the site.

Total cost of the scanner plus shipping was $1,022. So anyone who wants to chip in and help defray the costs to AV, feel free to help by Paypalling Sean through seanmichaelrobinson@gmail.com and be sure to click on “Friends and Family”, and AV will reimburse for the remainder.

So far we have $600 (!) donated towards the scanner. If we somehow get more than required, the extra money will go towards payment of our volunteer’s expenses and time.
-Eddie
SO, that's a thing. (I've already got my imaginary Mexican talking to the pledge partners...)

Great find, 300 seems to be a bit scarce online and goes for a higher price given it’s the last.

Grandpa got some new tricks up his sleeves. His voice was coming in loud and clear with his impromptu PLEASE HOLD segment.

Well Brian,

He WAS on this end.

This end ALWAYS sounds better than that end...

That makes sense. Still, it makes me wonder: how did Dave get to THAT end?

OK, nice page, but WHAT THE HECK is going on with Hal's left arm in that last panel? Man, that looks painful.
