SDoAR 3.17: Strange Death of Alex Raymond Trailer? New Raffle Item?

Did you all know that Dave Sim did an eight-page trailer for The Strange Death of Alex Raymond? And that it's published in Hermitage Awesomes Silicon Session, a parody book by Dave Sim and Carson Grubaugh? Well, it's true - and I'm adding a proof of that very parody book into the raffle that ends next week. So what are you waiting for? Get your raffle tickets today. Only 20 have sold so far! $25 a pop at SDOAR GoFundMe -->> https://www.gofundme.com/f/sdoar-2023

And that trailer? Well, here are the first four pages ...

Raffle VII Continues ...

Also included in the raffle is a set of four Cerebus bookplates, signed by Dave Sim.

As a reminder, David Birdsong generously donated Carson Grubaugh's painting from an early version of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. Note that the frame was damaged and there was no glass in it so he removed the art. The marks made by the frame can be seen below. 16 x 20 inches, acrylic on board.


Rules to win the Carson Grubaugh SDOAR Painting

Entries (or our equivalent of raffle tickets) cost $25 each and can be donated via lump sum to the Strange Death of Alex Raymond 2024 GoFundMe campaign through Monday, April 27, 2025 May 13 at midnight, PST. I will then randomly assign numbers to each entry and have Dave pull another Karnak, and I'll announce the winner on April 28, 2025 May 14, 2025. Cool? Cool.

If you want to see how Carson Grubaugh finished the hardcover, well, you're going to need to purchase a copy of your own. HOWEVER, if you want to see how Dave Sim continued the story in the blue pages -- bring me the blue pages -- mockups that appeared in blue ink in final section of the hardcover can be found here...

This,

Then in June 2021, Dave picked up the story again and it continues herehereherehere, and here.
