Where were YOU in 1982? (Specifically between October 1st to November 7th.)

Hi, Everybody!

So, I've mentioned the Waverly Press' latest book, Bobby Grossman’s LOW FIDELITY, the Kickstarter for which ends in 59 hours (so two days and eleven hours...), well, the next* book is another Dave Sim/Aardvark-Vanaheim collaboration.

"Yeah, we know, The Last Day..."

Sorry imaginary A Moment of Cerebus reader who lives rent-free in my head, but you're wrong:

*as far as I know. I mean The Waverly Press might be doing another book that ISN'T Cerebus related...

ANYWAY, this is a book that DAVE started putting together in 82/83 and eventually decided to shelve.

Dave has sent everything he has on file to the Waverly Press, and they're starting to go through it and see what's there.

So, as the title up there says: Where were YOU in 1982? Me? I was three. But, if you weren't a small child, The Waverly Press would love to hear from you if have:

• Any drawings Dave made in 82
• Any promotional material from the stops like flyers, posters, etc.
• Anything interesting that can go into the book.

Anyone who gives them scans will receive a note of thanks in the book.

They are also looking for:

• Any comic shops that are still in business that hosted stops to see if any firsthand accounts can be had.
• Also, any Cerebus readers that attended any of the tour stops that can share their memories 

What AMOC has, is:

• Margaret's Notebook post with the sketch for the tour poster.
• Meeting Harlan Ellison 1982.
• Cover Art for the Comics Journal 82/83 from the Notebooks.
• Kim Thompson's introduction from CJ 82/83.
• Paul Slade's 1980-1983 newspaper clipping round-up.
• Eddie Khanna's Newspaper round-up that HAS 82 tour stuff. (I gotta check, I might have real good scans from Dave of this stuff)
• Cerebus VS Superman

And then doing a Google for Dave Sim 1982 turned up:

• Specialty Illustration: George Perez, Romeo Tanghal, Dave Stevens, Dave Sim, Dave Cockrum, John Severin, Paul Ryan, Willie Blyberg, Scott McCloud, Steve Rude, Michael Gilbert, Dan Adkins, Dick Ayers, and Gray Morrow Original Art (c. 1981-88). The Dave part is dated 1982.
• 1982 "Philly style" Cerebus.
• "#5 Belushi look"

So, if YOU have anything that'd be of interest, shoot me an email at momentofcerebus@gmail.com and I'll get it to the Waverly Press.

And here's a little preview:
