A bag of Halloween treats!

Hi, Everybody!

Friend to the Blog, Gary Boyarski, shared on his Facebook:

It's been a long wait. 

My apologies to any readers who have been anticipating the next chapter in my story of Jack Grimm, Harbinger of Death.

As a single creator, working on this book by myself, I let it go completely off the track. Life got busy, and life got hard. I'm not making any excuses, but in all honesty my days are right full, holding down a full time nightshift job and looking after my family's needs. My wife suffers from various disabilities and as such many of the duties that would be taken up equally in a two parent home fall on my shoulders. The little time I do find myself with, to work on comics often has been spent recovering from basic burnout. There's just no gas left in the tank.

Last year, I had finished 90% of a second Jack Grimm Halloween Special, and was planning to have a Kickstarter to fund the printing but I just ran out of time. This year was no different. You think you have all the time, until you don't. Halloween like every thing else, just came too quickly.

So here we are another year without a new Special, and what, three years since the last published issue of Jack Grimm? This year marks the 10th Anniversary and I wanted to do something special for that as well, but I just don't have the energy for it.

But it's been too long and damned if I'm going to give up trying. It's Halloween and you all deserve some new Jack Grimm comics!

So here we go! In its raw, unedited form, a special 10 page story I called... GRAVEYARD SHIFT!

Enjoy, and have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Thanks Gary!

Uh...Matt? Where's the Cerebus/Dave Sim/Gerhard connection? I mean it was a neat comic, but how  does this tie into A Moment of Cerebus?

Ah, Imaginary-AMOC-Reader-Who-Lives-Rent-Free-In-My-Head, how soon you forget. Dave once did a pin-up/cover for Gary:

Click for biggerness

And then Gerhard "finished" it:

Ditto...

I mean, it became a bit of a thing, and maybe I shouldn't be bringing it up, but it's Halloween fer cryin' out loud...

You can get a whole coffin full of goodness here.

Next Time: Daylight Savings Time, so my post will be at least an hour later...

"Do you know the way to Elrod Way? Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa"

Hi, Everybody!

Mondays:

______________________________

SAY! have you heard about the NEW Cerebus Crowdfunding Campaign?

"Yes, Matt. We know ALL about the Remastered TMNT #8. Ya kinda won't shut up about it..."

No, not THAT Cerebus Crowdfunding Campaign, the BRAZILIAN one:

"Did somebody say Brazil?"

Apparently Oliver's Cerebus movie being on the streaming down there has paid off...

They're doing, at Dave's suggestion, Swords of Cerebus Vol. 1 in Portuguese.

It's got that Sean Robinson remastered goodness. In Portuguese.

Anyway, since you mentioned it, have you heard about the new Kickstarter?

"YES!!! We LITERALLY just said it's all your talking about!!! PAY! A! TTENTION!!!!!"

No, not THAT Kickstarter, Gary Boyarski's Kickstarter for Jack Grim #11

.

Hi Matt!

I know I've been pretty absent in regards to the active Cerebus fandom/crew as of late, but I was wondering if you're interested in giving my current Kickstarter a plug on the ol MOC page. Lots of Cerebus fans were exposed to my comic, Jack Grimm thanks to Dave's cover art on my last issue (Jack Grimm's Halloween Treat #1)

and I thought that this would be the best way to reach out to them.

Jack Grimm issue 11 is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter here,

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1961845066/jack-grimm-harbinger-of-death-11?ref=project_link

There is also the option to catch up and get the full set with issue 1-11 for those who are new to the series.

I've included some images that you can share from issue 11. Including the ultimate Cerebus reference that I could come up with.

Thanks!
Gary Boyarski
creator Jack Grimm: Harbinger of Death

 

Get it?

Any anyway, SPEAKING OF THE REMASTERED TURTLES 8 Kickstarter,

Hi, Everybody!

Four hours left to back Friend to the Blog, Gary Boyarski's Kickstarter for his next issue of Jack Grimm: Harbinger of Death, with the Dave AND Gerhard art on the variant covers:

The Waverly Press shared Gary's Kickstarter too.

They also said (okay, they didn't EXACTLY phrase it this way, but they like me to use "my own words", and I don't think you guys understand what "Cho" means, and it just goes downhill from there...):

Greetings suckers, [I kid, I kid... -Matt] "Greetings backer-types",

[Like three days ago... -Matt] brings the biggest update [Matt's ripped of...um, "posted"].

All of the extras around the Cerebus No. 2 campaign have been produced.

And there was much rejoicing! 

Enjoy the preview photos below which include the 5x7" postcard, 1.5" button and Jaka trading card which were stretch reward that every backer will receive. The sticker, signed and numbered set of 5 posters, and trading cards either come with select packages or were pledged as add-ons. [Must have been nice to have all that monies...-Matt]

The Cerebus books are being printed and we expect to receive them in about 3 weeks [You'll get 'em six to eight weeks afterward. Stupid mail service slowdowns... -Matt].

Some of you still have not filled out your reward surveys [losers... -Matt], so please get those filled out as soon as you can to avoid any delays in getting your packages shipped [That six to eight weeks will be months otherwise... Matt].

If you want to pick up any additional books then you still have a few days left to get them on Indiegogo.

They also sent me and Margaret a message about a couple of upcoming projects that we're consulting on. I'm sharing it, but I didn't ask permission, and I don't wanna get in trouble if I'm not supposed to share it, so:

(I just know Dion Turner's gonna crack what it says. I just know it...)

And Dave sent me:

Click for the biggers...

Click for smaller... j/k! it only gets bigger

Say, do you think Cerebus just beheaded his first Borealan in these:

Look at that neat collection of flaming hovels:

Anyway:

I'm giving away digital PDFs of glamourpuss for anybody that wants 'em. Just email momentofcerebus@gmail.com and I'll hook ya up.

Some of the missing content from The Strange Death of Alex Raymond

Hi, Everybody!

Mondays:

HEY!

Did you get a copy of The Strange Death of Alex Raymond from the Bezos?

And now you don't know if you have one of them misprinted copies or not?

And Sean's graphic is just too damn confusing:

Well, if it looks like this:

Ya done got horked.

Contact Amazon and they'll help ya get a replacement.

OR...

You can print out these four pages and glue 'em in. Thus ruining your rare misprint!

(Actually, I'm just sharing them so IF you have a Misprint, you can understand the story...)

I already told Carson I expect royalties...

You're welcome!
