Who has printer proofs of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond Giant Size Ashcan #1, Restored and Remastered Editions, and will be going to New York Comic Con next week? That's right! Me!
If you are planning on attending, let me know in the comments below or on Facebook and let's connect. Maybe we can even take a photo with the issues so folks know it's not vaporware!
In the meantime, while we didn't unlock a new page, we are only $29 away from doing so! Who's going the be the first one to get some freebies from Dave?

SDOAR Pages, Part VI
See: Part I; Part II; Part III; Part IV; Part V. Below is the first new completely new page that will be the start of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond Giant Size Ashcan #1.
Reminder: The image below is *neither* the restored *nor* the remastered page, just what I cleaned up as lo-res files for Dropbox. Philip R. Frey's cleanup work for the Giant-Size Ashcans is SO much better!
That's all I got this week. Now it's time for Jen to take a nap!

I pulled my copy of SDOAR out of storage and gave it anothe read through, though some parts I skipped.
Again it strikes me the amount of talent on display. I think Carson did as good a job as anyone to conclude his take on Dave's partial take on the whole situation.
Dave remains one of those most talented, unique comics creators. The further alone he went with his theories though the less interested, past a point, I was in them and/or wasn't sure I was following them, aside from the theory about Ward Greene and his ellipsis.
It's amazing that he may have just figured out Raymond's technique which is something else no one has done; I don't even know if people acknowledge it out their in reviews.
I'm still curios and interested in seeing Dave's completed version of this project and plan on purchasing it when it is one day released.
The book itself, as an object is great, while I don't normally purchase hardcovers, the binding, appearance, size all of it is a high quality product so kudos to Sean Michael Robinson and whomever produced it.
I've said this before but I think Carson ending it as he did with acknowleding Dave'e ideas while moving back into his life, girlfriend (fiance?) dogs, home was a healthy, smart call.
As with a decent sized chunk of Cerebus, it may be a work I'll appreciate more in time.
Cheers,

I wish to echo AFN. Carson made this book much, much more cohesive than it might otherwise have been.
