Maybe when I win the lottery. ;)<br /><br />As for other bonus prints, all the suggestions here sound good. I swear I suggested at some point a poster/print of the Mind Games issues, but maybe I never typed it :) <br /><br />And JLH's suggestion of the 301 Christmas card is a good one. I saw a copy of that (or maybe a different one) at a comic shop in Arlington, MA a number of years back (I don't think that particular shop is at the same location, but it may have moved or consolidated with another location -- can't remember the store name, now, though!), when I was getting a batch of Cerebus back issues there, and I offered to buy it, but I believe it was the owner's and the person I was talking to didn't have the authority to sell it off. But yeah, any art for Christmas cards and such, and other rarities, would be good for the bonus prints.<br /><br />The only other thing I'd say is that there's a danger in offering TOO much at once. I wan' it all, and I can't afford it all at once! As long as you're willing to offer stuff for multiple more Archives, though, I'm for seeing everything that we possibly could get our hands on.

Unless it has already been put together somewhere else, you would have to assemble the 20 pages of issue 62 in one document in Photoshop and then match them all up. I'd expect the digital file would also be massive. <br /><br />Apparently it has been done here, but as you can see, it is not perfect:<br /><br />http://momentofcerebus.blogspot.ca/2012/05/mind-game-iii-iv.html<br /><br />I would suggest having one version as above, and one version with all the individual panels intersecting through the pages. <br /><br />I'd also second the suggestion of the Cerebus phonebook covers, which I also mentioned in an earlier post. I'd just assumed that the idea was rejected.<br /><br />I believe that the first Mind Games issue also creates a poster when assembled, so you might want to consider doing that one too.<br /><br />- Reginald P.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-75616858794239687612015-02-21T14:53:26.800-06:002015-02-21T14:53:26.800-06:00Reginald,

The bigger the better because issue 62 assembled would make a great wall image.<br /><br />Some pros of this suggestion: As far as I know, that Mind Games has never been offered to the public in assembled form. It would make good sense to offer this, as it is part of Church & State I, and Sean will already be working with these pages. The bonus prints suggested in this post aren't connected to Church & State.<br /><br />As I've said, I believe that if you present a new take on the old material, it will sell, as the purchases are driven by nostalgia but also a desire to get something unique or new.<br /><br />I would definitely buy an assembled poster or print of Cerebus 62, and would be willing to pay a higher price as it would be a very special item.<br /><br />A further suggestion: Gerhard coloured in one of the Church & State pages (I think it's with Henrot Gutch and Harmon Blakely) at a convention. That would be a great bonus print.<br /><br />- Reginald P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-84082998712951222292015-02-21T00:54:16.994-06:002015-02-21T00:54:16.994-06:00Another Print I'd love to see?
