Is there a reason we jumped from a remastered Cerebus #2 to #4 on the next Kickstarter campaign?

We never even got to 3rd base.

I have a scan of the original art for the cover of issue 3 but that was supposed to happen after TMNT 8. The fact that Dave got the scans for all 22 pages of Cerebus No 4 is one of those events that isn't likely to happen again any time soon. Dave did surprise everyone with this. I was basically done with the POT8.2 KS page, just waiting on a video when it became LET'S CHANGE IT TO THIS AND DO IT TWO DAYS. Maybe it was 3 or 4, but it felt like 2.

The version of No 4 isn't exactly a Waverly Press version, either. The CAN version is like the previous CANs but with all of the pages, two letters and Dave's commentaries. Then there is a remastered version of the comic from the new scans that Sean is working his magic on. This edition will feature Dave's cover recreation from 2005 that was included in the auction for the original art.

This Kickstarter is dedicated to the memory of Jeff Sieler, the voice of Elrod (1st appearance in Cerebus No 4, co-inky-dinkly). Let's hope I can do him justice with the still unfinished video.

The campaign has been approved by Kickstarter and It launches tomorrow evening at 9PM CST.

Thank you for providing the original cover being parodied by CIH?. Much appreciated.

Thanks Tony, that's just another reason the official CIH? checklist is taking too long. We want to show all of the original covers as well.
