Looking at stuff that'll probably be different when YOU get to buy a copy...

Hi, Everybody!

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.

https://www.ebay.ca/itm/127667782252

The item title is Dave Sim POSSUM-AT-LARGE VS. SUPER-CEREBUS (CIH? #85) Signed 1/5 (#104/185)

Continuing from Yesterday:

So, I got these prototypes of the 82 Tour Book,

So the left and right are the Comic Book Prototypes (CBP). The differences are:

Different corner boxes

Different back covers (A on left B on right)

And A is designed to look like Dave's original Mock-Up,

B up top, A on bottom

I like the look of A's insides, and B's cover.

And the Big book,

Sexy, right?

To give you an idea of how big the Prototype is,

Here it is compared to the A CBP

As for content, Here's how much of the big book is printed in the A CBP:

That raised part is the A CBP. Now, not ALL of the big book shown here is in A CBP, but all of A CBP is in the big book...

Here's how much is left in the big book,

The raised part is A CBP again.

So what is in the "back of the book"?

Vintage 1982 material like:

Comics Fandom's Forum

Comic's Journal 82 and 83 Dave & Deni interview

Telegraph Wire interview

Lone Star Express interview (itself reprinted in Cerebus Companion)

And lots and lots of other stuff.

Remember, this is just the Prototype, the real book will be hardcover, and fancier.

How prototype is this?

Pretty prototypical...
