Time sensitive Cerebus thing:
Dave Sim is trying an eBay experiment to see if his own (signed and numbered) comic copies from the Kickstarter will sell.
This time he is selling a total of 5 comic books over the next six weeks. There is only one comic book to start on eBay. Each week there will be another comic added to the eBay listing.
The first auction is scheduled to start today, Friday Feb 6 at 8 PM Eastern Time (5pm PT). Sim wanted a two week auction; the longest Dave's eBay guy can run it is 10 days, so it'll end Monday Feb 16 at 8 pm ET.
The item title is Dave Sim POSSUM-AT-LARGE VS. SUPER-CEREBUS (CIH? #85) Signed 1/5 (#104/185)
What is it?
It's a softcover version of the Regency Edition that (pending Dave's approval) MIGHT be offered on the Kickstarter. The back matter has been revised compared to the original hardcover. But it'll be a more affordable option for people who missed out the first time.

So I got these in the mail the other day:
These are indeed, PROTOTYPES for the 82 Tour Book from my GOOD friends at The Waverly Press. From left to right is:
- The "B" version of the comic book sized version. This is Dave's Tour diary, and Deni's photos from the Tour. This is gonna be a lower prized option on the Kickstarter. It's my preferred cover.
- In the middle is the PROTOTYPE of the Big Ol' Book that Margaret and I helped cobble together. It has Dave's Tour diary, Deni's photos, loads of sketches from the tour, interviews from 82, commentaries by [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED], and [REDCATED] reminiscing about the Tour. THIS copy is softcover, but the ACTUAL book will be Hardcover (and glorious!). This is the one that you have better saved your shekels for... Kickstarter starts soon(?)
- And on the right is the "A" version of the comic book sized version. Pretty much the same as the "B" version. Dave's diary, Deni's photos. Low priced option. It's designed to look like Dave's mock-up of the Tour Diary from 83, complete with Preney Printing logos. It's my preferred interior.
I'll do a more in depth post in the future (maybe tomorrow.)

And speaking of Kickstarters, the Tyrant one is a'comin'. And I'm pretty sure this'll be in there somewhere:
