Hi, Everybody!
In case you somehow hadn't have heard, Cerebus Fan Peter Straub has died.
I let Dave know.
He has responded:
I'ma run Dave's letters to Mr. Straub from Collected Letters over the next few days (there's 28 pages of them.)
My condolences to his family and friends.

The Waverly Press has an Instagram. And will be posting updates and teasers for upcoming projects with Dave. Like the 1982 Tour book.
So does Carson. He and Sean got the YouTubes too. Order their book The Abolition of Man #1. Hey look they got a second one: The Abolition of Man #2!
Eddie doesn't have an Instagram OR a YouTube. But he's got his Strange Death of Alex Raymond annotations. (I mean, I assume. Maybe he's ALL over the 'gram and just not telling me...)
If you backed a Cerebus related Kickstarter, make sure
Heritage has pages from Cerebus #1 (like, has the WHOLE issue's original art hit the block recently?!?). And a whole heap of other neat stuff.

I saw the "news" headlines this morning. Nothing about Peter Straub. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I read several of his books and Koko was my favorite. Anyone passing this weekend is likely to be overshadowed by the news from England.
One of the biggest surprises when I first got around to reading Collected Letters (maybe the biggest) was discovering the correspondance between Dave and Mr. Straub. Co-wrote the Talisman? The author of Ghost Story? Shadowland? Knows Dave? Is a fan/reader of Cerebus?!!
One of these days I'll get around to reading Mystery and the The Throat and diving deeper into Dave's take on those books.
I'm curious if he ever publicly wrote anything about Cerebus, what he made of Dave and Gerhard's work, paritcularly the latter issues.
Anyway, I appreciate you running the letters on here and interesting how the books ended up in Strange Death.
I remember being quite disturbed by Koko when I first read it, a lot of it went over my head-most of it really as I wasn't mature enough and it was quite the switch from the horror or horror fantasy I was used to and suddenly reading about Viet Nam.
Rest in peace, Mr. Straub.
