George Gatsis writes; After a year on getting Cerebus Digital, Animated and Distributed (CerebusDownloads.com )… I have finally had free time allocated back to myself so I can contemplate and procrastinate Alas… both seem to be exactly the same for me. So I decided to do the opposite of what I usually do… Usually, I devote my[...]

Decades before Promethea #32, there was Cerebus #20 The Mindgames issue Which folded out, to create… this. One of the most groundbreaking comic books of its day – and still is thirty years later Whatever you think of the man, his views and his politics, Dave Sim is deservedly one of the few comic book geniuses. Rmember[...]

Spoilers if you squint. This kind of trick is one you many have been more used to seeing in the likes of Promethea or Cerebus And it is something totally lost on the digital version… Along with Batwoman, The Flash from the pen of Francis Manapul, is one of the few DC New 52 comics that[...]

Dave Sim writes for Bleeding Cool; NOTE ON THE 16TH PRINTING OF CEREBUS VOLUME ONE This printing marks the first time that I've directed fundamental corrections and restorations to be made in the original material since first producing it more than thirty years ago, a choice precipitated by George Gatsis making me aware of flaws which resulted from[...]

Won't you do the same? He writes from Kickstarter Update #125 …In the meantime, having to make a living, I have signed with IDW to do four work-made-for-hire covers a month.  Unlike everything having to do with CEREBUS, THAT's going smoothly.  I e-mail the covers from PostNet, I get reaction back, voucher the covers and get paid[...]

Among them were Ted Adams and Chris Ryall of IDW, and a representative of Hasbro. We got to discussing the Cerebus reprint deal of the Cover collections and High Society, and how it came about, and more on that later We explained to the Hasbro fellow, a comic reader unfamiliar with Cerebus about its importance to[...]

For the last few weeks, we've been watching old sparring partners Dave Sim and Fantagraphics circle around the possibility of Fantagraphics publishing Cerebus in a series of hardcover volumes Dave seemed to want to start with Form And Void, aimed at a New York Times-reading audience, Kim Thompson wanted to start with Cerebus or High[...]

And justifies further the reason he is on Bleeding Cool Magazine #1's "list". But IDW is to publish a book collecting Cerebus' 300 covers, which do not appear in the Cerebus phonebook collections Dunbier has gone to Kitchener in Ontario to start scanning in all the covers, and any associated bits and pieces. With Cerebus High Society[...]

Dave Sim, creator of Cerebus, is running a series of interviews with a number of websites – including Bleeding Cool – answering questions asked by the sites' readers.

George Peter Gatsis writes to Bleeding Cool, regarding the recent news of a fire, which destroyed Cerebus negatives well before the anticipated Cerebus Digital project was completed. Here it is by the numbers : The High Society Project is a total of 25 issues (26 to 50) which is 500 pages total (not including letters and covers)[...]

Dave Sim writes; "A Public Plea:  I don't know how far this will go, but it's definitely a Prime Concern: If you know anyone with CEREBUS original artwork (either personally or online/Facebook/Comic Art Sites etc it would be really, really, really helpful if you could get them to scan their page(s) at 600 dpi grayscale AND[...]

The Cerebus Digital 6000 Project is well underway at Kickstarter and has just earned $20,000 in funding, over three times its original aim But how is the actual digitisation happening? And who is doing it? Why it's Bleeding Cool's own George Peter Gatis, author of our semi-regular It's Not Rocket Science column We had a chat. [...]

Such a difference to Bone, but still with the emotional core of that book, with monsters and grotesques and the strangest looking beautiful people. Dave Sim continues to give us quite the mix in Glamourpuss #25, with Canadian model Kyla Nicolle posing for scenes and being grabbed by the narrative, and an argumentative bunny rabbit, into[...]

The funding of an audio/visual/digital version of the Cerebus story High Society was received on Kickstarter even quicker than Sullivan's Sluggers… less than a day into the Kickstarter funding, it has received $10,597 of its $6,000 goal from 156 backers with 31 days to go… and it looks like we're going to get a lot[...]

He's also writing the previously-Vertigoed Swamp Thing. But this week's Batman #5 is vertigo on a different level. Back in the seventies, Dave Sim published an issue of his amazing Cerebus comic that saw the titular character in an rather unfortunate state, finding his whole world twisting As did the page Gradually, angle by angle, the narrative[...]

On the new Cerebus TV episode, premiering on Bleeding Cool, Dave Sim first talks about Darwyn Cooke and his work, with a Cerebus TV interview with Darwyn, where he talks about the potential of digital comics. And, as Dave Sim reveives copies of the Zootanapuss variant cover of Glamourpuss to sign,  we see Cerebus artwork being[...]

Creator of Cerebus, a comic that ran for 300 issues, redefined the medium, and still sells well in collections, a number of plotlines and essays marked him out to many as a virilent misogynist, a charge that he not only denied but refused to deal with people unless then signed a contract stating that they[...]

We start with the Steve Canyon board game, we move onto the comic Straw Man and the current market climate, Cerebus Archive, Cerebus in CGI, Page 45 in Nottingham, photographing the Beatles, John Severin in Witchfinder, Well, what else were you planning to do[...]

In his first complete story since Cerebus #300 It is an imaginary story, but aren't they all? And rather than enacting a plague of righteous fury across Madison Avenue, Cerebus instead gets caught up in the celebrity, movie and music culture of the time to the point of obssession Including "the twist". Don't make the mistake[...]

A few eBay listings that might be worth bringing to your attention. First up is an original piece of art by Dave Sim featuring Lady Gaga and Cerebus dressed as Lady Gaga standing in from of an arrest photograph board. And then we have Irish comic book archaeologist Pádraig Ó Méalóid trying to raise a bit of[...]

Now, three years later, I make a passing reference to Dave's well documented opinions in one panel out of a whole 96 page graphic novel and it's seen as some sort of vendetta! In the Grandville series I'm pastiching all sorts of famous anthropomorphic characters and I didn't want to leave Cerebus out I'm a[...]
