And there's a Kickstarter for Dave and Carson Grubaugh's You Don't Know Jack. The Newest Update:
We've heard your outcry, and we've listened. The following pledge rewards have been added!
Special Personalized Signing Add-on-- $5
This is an add-on to any existing pledge! If you would like Carson to sign your book to you personally, with an indicated message, please add $5 to your pledge, and indicate it in the final campaign survey on the relevant question!
Hermitage Awesomes catalogue, special hand-corrected proofs signed by Dave Sim (Limited to 10)-- $100
These are proofs of the 72-page full-color Hermitage Awesomes catalog, in various stages of design, produced for and signed by Dave Sim, who generously donated these to our campaign. Because these are actual honest-to-gosh proofing copies of the book, printed by Kitchener's Studio Comics Press in 2017 and 2018, there may be spelling errors, Post-it-Notes, coffee stains, bite marks, and who knows what else! (These were tough years).
Because of the limited nature of this category, if you'd like this item as well as other items, please pledge for THIS category, and add the value of any other pledge category you'd like. Then you can inform us of your full "order" in the survey at the end of the campaign.
Hermitage Awesomes (physical edition)
By popular demand! This is a physical edition of the 72-page, 8.5” x 11” HERMITAGE AWESOMES parody catalog. It will be signed and numbered by Carson Grubaugh, and will be exclusive to this campaign. This 72-page book presents a number of things--
an eight-page “movie trailer” preview of the Strange Death of Alex Raymond
a long-form parody of the Heritage Auctions catalogue, featuring closeups of the original artwork for the entirety of You Don't Know Jack, and more, and long, dense humorous descriptive “essays” on the various pieces in question
detailed essays by Sim jumping off of key Alex Raymond original artwork sold through Heritage Auctions, along with closeups of the discussed work
SIX MACRO CONS—THE COLLECTED GRUBAUGH $20
Created especially for the YDKJ Kickstarter, in a signed and numbered edition, this 76-page perfect-bound book presents selected short comics works of Carson Grubaugh, including "Take On Me", his 5-page collaboration with Cerebus co-artist Gerhard!
The front and back cover feature oil paintings by Carson.
STRETCH GOAL--
If the campaign reaches $20,000, each backer $15 and over will receive a digital download of "the Dave Sim Edit" of YDKJ, and a PDF of ALL of Dave Sim's layout/scripts for the book (including approx. a dozen pages that were never developed into finished comics!)
