Twenty twenty twenty four(-ish) hours to go!!!

Hi, Everybody!

Well, if you're a regular reader of A Moment of Cerebus, you know about The Remastered Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 Featuring Cerebus Kickstarter from Aardvark-Vanaheim and The Waverly Press. 

And if you've backed The Remastered Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 Featuring Cerebus Kickstarter from Aardvark-Vanaheim and The Waverly Press, you got the newest Update with what's happening in the home stretch.

But, because THIS AIN'T MY 1ST RODEO, I'ma post on MY DAY OFF (mainly because I was asked to, but mostly because DAMNIT BIRDSONG did one of his minimal information posts, and I F***ING hate those...)!

Anyway, the Last Day of the Kickstarter brings us Dave's recreation of the cover of Turtles #1:

Nah, that's a cover I did using images Dave sent me. Here's Dave's REAL cover:

Quote: This final T8 cover (D) by Dave Sim is priced at $15, or get a bundle of 10 copies for $100!

And then there're TWO more covers from Samuel G. Wolfe and Al Gofa, who got them in late:

Quote: Both covers will be strictly limited to 250 copies, but only 190 will be available to collectors, priced at $20 each.

I know:

"If they're printing 250 covers why are only 190 covers available for purchase?"

Again, not a Rodeo Virgin. They hold back, in this case 60, covers in case any get damaged in shipping, or in case of printing errors during the run, etc. You'll see some of them 60 get offered over on CerebusOverload at some point, OR as part of the 2024 Holiday Bundles.

I ger-own-tee it...

Continuing.

And then there's the Zombies (ALWAYS with the Fakakta zombies...):

Quote: If you were following the campaign closely, you know about the 7 flash sale zombie variants by Dave Sim, each offered on a different day for only 24 hours. Many of you missed out on random days and have contacted us about acquiring those missing books. Each of the 7 covers are strictly limited to 100 copies but only 85 are being offered to collectors...

We JUST covered the "why Matt?". Literally. Printing errors/damaged in shipping...

Continuing quote: We counted the sales for each Z-variant and offering the last few remainders during this home stretch, priced at $20 each. At 100 copies, these are among the rarest variants for this release. We are offering a set of all seven Zombie covers in a trading card set. Just like the books, we are only offering 100 sets, priced at $20.

And the:

Quote: If missed out on the first batch of Dave Sim’s original hand drawn trading cards, we have added more which are affordably priced from $75-$150 each!

And then the last thing on offer is...well, read on McDuff:

Our final offering is something a bit more unique.

For $500, you can have an hour on the phone with Cerebus creator Dave Sim. Want to talk about comics in the 80s? How about working with Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird on Turtles #8, or Todd McFarlane on Spawn #10? Dave will happily discuss whatever you like for one full hour! As a bonus, Dave will record the conversation and email it to you upon request. In addition to the phone call, we will mail you a mystery package filled with cool Cerebus swag (books, cards, stickers and pins) courtesy of Waverly Comics!

Basically your very own Please Hold For Dave Sim. I was asked if I had a photo of Dave on the phone to be used to help sell this (and as a guy who gets his $1500 phone calls for free, and has been getting them for free since back when they was $900 an hour for a call, I can say $500 and you don't even have to deal with [name withheld]? That's a steal...) and I came up with this:

It was funnier when I made it during Week 3 last week...

And:

And last quote:

Finally, do you have a burning question for Dave about the creation of T8 or anything else related to Cerebus? Post your questions in the comments section and we will pass them along to Dave. We will post his answers in the comments section for everyone to read (if he answers).

It ALL ends tomorrow 10am Eastern (Kitchener) time, 9AM here at the ol' AMOC Cave. (Next week Wednesday down in Australia where Dion Turner lives...time zones are WEIRD man...)

AND THEN ON FRIDAY: The Kevin Eastman Turtles auctions start on Heritage. Including the second to last page of Turtles #8:

And Dave's Turtles covers:

You can hear Dave and Mr. Eastman talking about art in the auction...RIGHT HERE:
