Got this from Birdsong:
Dave's is offering one BTVRK Variant. It will be on sale for exactly one week. Available in splattered for $35 and unsplattered $20. Start date to be determined. Dave's fax, expanding on what will be on the cover, was in response to this first draft. The 2nd draft is underway.
And reading comprehension isn't our best feature, so Birdsong clarifies:
Shit, as usual I miss something in Dave's fax. There at the end it says "Just Splattered" because offering both versions takes advantage of Cerebus Fan's wallets.
So.
BTVRK
Official Genuine Fake Dave Sim Blood-Splattered "Feed The Cerebus In Hell? Team" #xx/xx
Signed, Numbered, Splattered & Dated
by Dave Sim
One week only.
$35
Date: To Be Announced
Back when BTVRK was first getting pitched, I suggested:
I figured it out.
Not Thirty Covers.
New cover every third page. With a new premise/cast/ whatever.
So: cover, strip on IFC, new cover on 1, strip on 2, new cover on 3, strip on 4, etc.
Make all the covers Black & White. Then get Marquis to bind the pages at random.
Make it a 48 pager.
The collector market will go nuts.
Matt
(And the titles are all Mr. Mxyzptlk titles, where there are no vowels. Like JNGLS, DNT&VRGL, WHRFBBLN, etc.)
I'm full of good ideas...

We needed to get answers to whether or not such naming is possible. It is possible. Only one cover. All splattered. Unless it changes. Again.
When was the Cerebus the Barbarian T-shirt image drawn?
Hi David!
How about a blank BTVRK cover with an original Dave Sim drawing and auction it off?

Michael, that sounds like one of those things Dave slips in at the last minute during a Kickstarter. I made that cover but we decided not to print any more variants. It's starting to get ridiculous with all the variants industry-wide and we aren't doing any more any time soon. This Bloody Batvark will be it as far as variants for the monthly Cerebus In Hell? issues. We're also planning to run all the variants we got done on the back cover of this one. So it's a lot of variant covers, really small, but all on one convenient back cover.
Another reason to end all the variants is so that when a special occasion does come up it IS a time for some variant covers as in TMNT8 Remastered with three new covers by Dave and one by Carson Grubaugh and perhaps more. There will also be a new printing of Cerebus #1 available with the cover Dave drew and I colored in 2021
I don't have a specific timeline for this other than the TMNT8 Kickstarter begins in January. That means the Bloody Batvark Kickstarter would run sometime between now and who knows, but maybe this month since it's Halloween. Gotta get those chocolate Batvarks with the strawberry filling ordered.
Thanks, Birdsong, I was wondering if we'd ever get a new #1 with that glorious cover Dave did for it during the #2 campaign. #1 is sold out at Waverly entirely, after all. I wonder, will the new #1 feature the newly remastered pages from 1 that were in the back of the #4 Kickstarter?
