The Name of The Game Is Diamondback (1981)

Hi, Everybody!

So, on Saturday, I posted the bit from High Society with Cerebus and the McGrews playing Diamondback. I was gonna link to the short story: The Name of The Game Is Diamondback, when I discovered that that isn't on A Moment of Cerebus.

To the scanner!

From Swords of Cerebus #1

Which was then reprinted in Cerebus World Tour Book 1995:

And again as NOT The Cerebus World Tour Book 1995:

There, Now I can link to THIS.

Swords Of Cerebus Vol 3: Cerebus #11

PAUL SLADE:

Published between 1981 and 1984, Dave's six Swords of Cerebus volumes were his first attempt to collect the book in a more permanent form. He gave each story included in these volumes a prose introduction, explaining where the book stood when he'd been working on that particular issue and how he was thinking of its prospects at the time. We're currently covering the intros from Swords volume 3. Also check out the full 'Swords Of Cerebus' Introductions Index.

"The 'hsss' is a direct steal from Jules Feiffer's Hostileman," says Dave.

Jules Feiffer's "Hostileman" appeared is six issues of Playboy magazine:
Dec 1964, Jan 1965, Jun 1965, Jan 1967, May 1969, Jun 1969

"This was the first time that Cerebus is shown to use any discretion whatsoever

when it comes to a potential confrontation," says Dave.

Swords Of Cerebus Vol 1: The Name Of The Game Is Diamondback

The Name of the Game is Diamondback:

“I was a quarter inch off the page trying to ink very interestingly and meticulously,” says Dave.

PAUL SLADE:

Published between 1981 and 1984, Dave's six Swords of Cerebus volumes were his first attempt to collect the book in a more permanent form. He gave each story included in these volumes a prose introduction, explaining where the book stood when he’d been working on that particular issue and how he was thinking of its prospects at the time. This example's taken from Swords volume 1. Also check out the full 'Swords Of Cerebus' Introductions Index.

This story, which was laid out by Marshall Rogers from Dave's script, is the first of Swords' exclusive bonus tales, which would go on to feature Cerebus work by Barry Windsor-Smith, Gene Day, Joe Rubinstein and Gerhard.
