"getting more scarce on there. There is one copy of the remastered Church & State I going for $80. Going Home is still high despite being remastered. Jaka's story is pricey. The only cheap ones are the well read copies. Dave might consider hanging on to his copies as they will only go up in value."
High Society - 9th printing - the first phonebook I ever bought, still looks pretty good
High Society - 11th printing (remastered)
High Society - 12th printing with Red State signed Bookplate (remastered)
High Society - 12th printing with Blue State signed Bookplate (remastered)
Church & State I - 10th printing - my original, all my original phonebooks are well read, but look good for old guys
Church & State I - 12th printing (remastered)
Jaka's Story - 7th printing - November 2004, the first phonebook reprinted after Cerebus ended, takes me back
Form & Void - 2nd printing - same as the 1st printing, but not signed and numbered
The Last Day - 2nd printing - same as the 1st printing, but not signed and numbered
I have a 1st printing of Minds that I got from Dave years ago. 311/2100 and signed by Dave and Gerhard. I'm going to leave that one for my daughter ("Listen, honey, trust me, just put it in your gun safe and look up what it is worth in 20 years.") I'd like to get these in the hands of Cerebus fans not comic shops so if you guys know any desperate fans...

My friend Logan killed himself about a year ago and now I have his Cerebus issues. He had 16-300, I gave a bunch away, but I still have #16,18,21-26, 28,32,37,41,49,51-53,58-62,64-66,69,74,76,80-111,114-146,148-151,155-156,160,162-214. Let me know if any fans need them.
Welcome back to the next round of the race here at the AMOC Race Track, where our motto is: “You’ll Probably Like Our Nags A Lot Better Than The Ones You Get At Home”
Both horses are taking up their starting positions from where we left off: ’82 TOUR-DIARY at $61 with a $17 dollar lead against PLEASE-HOLD, sitting at $44. Jockeys are readying up, waiting for the bell…looks like both horses are ready..annndddd….<ding!> THEY’RE OFF!!
’82 TOUR-DIARY still in the lead, but PLEASE-HOLD is holding steady. Both horses sticking to their paces with no discernible change in position. Coming around the bend and it’s ’82 TOUR-DIARY at the front, with PLEASE-HOLD struggling to catch up..AND WE HAVE A $5 DONATION FOR PLEASE-HOLD, BRINGING IT TO $49, within a $12 gap from ’82 TOUR-DIARY!
Ladies and Gentlemen, at this point it’s still anyone’s game to win or lose! Overconfidence has been the cause of many a lost horse race since the Greeks..
( and some minor trivia for all our spectators: ’82 TOUR-DIARY’s Maternal Granddam was actually the horse Frodo rides across the river to get away from the Black Riders, in the 1978 Ralph Bakshi animated version of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. So we have a bit of an interesting connection there with the lineage…)
You can see the determination in both riders' faces. PLEASE-HOLD seems energized by the donation, gaining ground! In this precarious spot neither rider wants to exhaust their horse too early in the race, leading to burn-out and allowing the other horse to..A $50 DONATION FOR ’82 TOUR-DIARY!!! ’82 TOUR-DIARY HAS THROWN CAUTION TO THE WIND AND CHARGED AHEAD, GAINING A STRONGLY DOMINANT LEAD IN THE RACE! AND WE FINISH THE ROUND WITH ’82 TOUR-DIARY at $111 and PLEASE-HOLD WITH $49!!
What a race! I tell you, Ladies and Gentlemen, you won’t get this kind of excitement sitting at home watching reruns of LEAVE IT TO BEAVER! It looks like PLEASE-HOLD is going to need a miracle (or a donor with deep pockets) to win, but anything can happen (and usually does) around these parts! Come back next week for the next round, and we’ll be back after a word from our sponsor: LISS HOCKEY-STICKS (“When you want to put that b*stard puck right between their b*stard eyes. You won’t miss with LISS!”)

In the future, if you need money, you could think about doing an Artist's Edition collection of "Ger's Least Hated Cerebus Pages". Printing at size the Original Art pages you like the most. Pick the 100 or so pages, write a little commentary on what you like about 'em, Kickstarter the whole package and "Bob's your uncle"...to which he replied:
Or, ya know, don't.
Glad to see that Steve is doing so well on his Kickstarter.So don't be expecting a Gerhard led Kickstarter in this lifetime...
As for me doing a Kickstarter... I'd sooner have a molten lead enema than go through that.
Thanks for thinking of me, though.
