Hi, Everybody!

So, the eBay auctions:
CEREBUS IN HELL? THE IRON MANTICORE PART #1 (MAR 30) strips for 2019
CEREBUS IN HELL? / Aardvark-Vanaheim studio-office clean-up clipping panels
And bonecrusher86 is where to look for the other items from this week's Weekly Update. 

Back when Dave was auctioning off the original art for the IDW covers through Heritage Auctions, I set up an alert for Dave Sim stuff. Here's what it caught this time:

Dave Sim Cerebus #33 Cover Moon Roach Original Art (Aardvark-Vanaheim, 1981). Having abandoned his previous identities of "The Cockroach" and "Captain Cockroach", Artemis was now using the guise of "Moon Roach". Dave Sim used the character to satirize the comic industry and specifically Batman, Captain America, Moon Knight, Wolverine, the Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars series, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, Jim Valentino's Normalman, the Punisher, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and even Sgt. Preston of the Royal Mounted Police. The Roach often upstaged Cerebus when he appeared in a story. Astoria appears on this cover in one of her earliest appearances in this story arc collected as "High Society". Cerebus the Aardvark also appears on the cover (it's his book, after all). A gorgeous cover painted in gouache on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 14". The board is lightly toned and has been slightly sunstruck on the edges from a previous framing. Overall, in Excellent condition. 

Dave Sim and Gerhard Cerebus, Sugar and Spike Illustration Original Art (1984). What a mash-up -- Cerebus babysitting Sugar and Spike! "Glx Sptzl Glaah!" was the title of a 1977 fanzine devoted to the art of Sheldon Mayer, the creator of Sugar and Spike, and that same phrase is remarked below the artists' signature on this zany piece by Cerebus creator Sim and his long-time background illustrator Gerhard. 12" x 9", Excellent condition.

Gosh...I wish I had some money...

Next Time: Anybody wanna buy a relatively healthy white baby?

ANYWAY, here's the links to:

The prototype Cerebus Archive Number 7 portfolio.

And the UNDATEABLE CEREBUS Final Proof.

And since Steve mentioned it in the comments to Dave's Weekly Update, Gerhard and Mike Zeck's Punisher.

AND and, tomorrow(?) Gerhard's World Without Cerebus: Fallen Idol print goes up.

So I hope everybody has been saving their scheckles...

(Full disclosure: I'm currently winning the CiH? auction. I'm kinda hoping "some yenta with more money than brains" (I'm looking at you, Seiler,) shows up and outbids me...)

Next Time: Auctions! More Auctions!! ALL AUCTIONS, ALL THE TIME!!! Right here on A Moment Of AUCTIONS!!!!! (wait a minute...)

For Auction: Wait somebody had THAT?!?

Hi, Everybody!

So back when Dave was auctioning his IDW covers I set up an alert from Heritage Auctions for any "Dave Sim" stuff they had.

Here's today's catch:

Dang man...just dang.

Mike Zeck and Gerhard "Make My Day!" Punisher Illustration Original Art (c. 1990s). Mike Zeck on the Punisher, and Gerhard on the backgrounds... the best of both worlds! Zeck made the Punisher a household word and Gerhard quickly became a fan-favorite for his amazing and highly intricate backgrounds in Dave Sim's long-running Cerebus series. This is a prime example of both men's work and in top-form. Created in ink and watercolor on 20" x 32" illustration board. Signed by both in the lower margin. In Excellent condition.

 It doesn't go up for auction for another 17 days, but dang that looks neat.

And then there's this:

Wait, ALL twenty-two pages! Howdafuq???

Back in August 2008 they had ALL twenty-two pages of issue 6? Did...did Dave know about this? Did Sean get scans? Can Sean get scans? Are they in the latest edition of the first phonebook? How? What? Who?

Next time: ALL twenty-two? How much weed did Dave get for that? What? How? Who?

For Auction: World Without Cerebus: Dropped Mop

Hi, Everybody,

Awhile back I set up an alert from Heritage Auctions for any Dave Sim related stuff. Here's the latest:

Gerhard World Without Cerebus: Dropped Mop Signed Limited Edition Lithograph Print #8/150 (c. 2008). The World Without Cerebus series was inspired by Brian Coppola, a long-time fan of Dave Sim's Cerebus the Aardvark. The idea was to bring the brilliant work by background artist Gerhard into the foreground by removing all of the distracting characters. These are just scenes from the comic. This print, titled "Dropped Mop", is a high-quality full color print measuring 19" x 15", with an image area of 15" x 10". It is numbered and signed below the image area. In Excellent condition. 

More info here.

Auction ends the 31st. Good luck!
