Whatever you think of the man, his views and his politics, Dave Sim is deservedly one of the few comic book geniuses. Rmember that when you see the four page foldout in Superman Unchained #1, Sim was doing this in the seventies.

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston People understand Hollywood feuds exist, but find it strange similar behaviour might be exhibited in a

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[...]

In his Cerebus Kickstarter updates, Dave Sim talks at length about his revisions of the previously-serialised in Glamorpuss, The Strange Death Of Alex Raymond But he also talked about his other projects. This is my first non-fasting day after finishing this month's four covers (DR.WHO #11 — which was supposed to be #5 except I made[...]

Not that Dave Sim is killing him, you understand Otherwise I would now be an accessory to murder. The bit of Glamourpuss that I really liked was the Strange Death of Alex Raymond, Sim using the skills he'd practiced in earlier issues of the series recreating the photorealistic newspaper strip of the mid-twentieth century to look[...]

And then, we found ourselves talking about the success of My Little Pony at IDW and I was able to get a confirmation on the ninety thousand sales number for the first issue We also discussed the amazing concept of Dave Sim doing the Mars Attacks variant cover And then got to thinking Would Dave Sim[...]

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[...]

Dunbier has gone to Kitchener in Ontario to start scanning in all the covers, and any associated bits and pieces. With Cerebus High Society Digital about to launch, as well as the audio version, funded very successfully by Kickstarter, it all seems to be adding towards Dave Sim getting another, possibly final, media blip in his[...]

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. The first was from Millarworld, where Mike Kitchen asked him if he's consider working with Mark Millar on a creator-owned project Sim seemed to decline even the possibility,[...]

Dave Sim has been sharing all manner of items planned to go into the Digital Cerebus collections This morning we received a motherlode of Cerebus sketches, mostly by Dave Sim (below) but also one from Barry Windsor Smith (above). There were also a couple of letters, one from Harlan Ellison where he agreed in principle to[...]

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[...]

Three books out this week, one by Dave Sim, one by Jeff Smith, one by Terry Moore, all huge figures of the self publishing business for decades, and all back to putting out regular black-and-white work, away from their earlier, more famous work. First up, the interdimensional action romp Rasl from Jeff Smith gains a romantic[...]

An Elephantmen strip, written and drawn by Cerebus' Dave Sim with the character's creator Richard Starkings, taking one scene, and drawing it again and again in different panel perspectives and layout Still creating innovative scenes and storytelling, and here serving a greater cause. See if your store still has copies this week.     It was rather a[...]

And, as Dave Sim reveives copies of the Zootanapuss variant cover of Glamourpuss to sign,  we see Cerebus artwork being[...]

For those who feel that Frank Miller has rather polarised opinion in comic books this past week, well, you may not remember the Dave Sim Wars of the nineties 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[...]

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[...]

I miss something like this. In Glamourpuss #18 by Dave Sim, which was published earlier this month, there's the return of a certain special someone. Exactly 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[...]

There's ONE Dave Sim story out of hundreds 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[...]

And, yes, he's very good, and his lettering prints with Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Alex Ross and Mark Buckingham prove that point. But for me the greatest letterer in comics has always been Dave Sim, the way he not only creates the most experimental lettering to fit the mood and tone of characters, but integrates into[...]

Heard about Dave Sim's Glamourpuss? Interested in all the photorealist comic strip historical information as Dave Sim recreates his way through Alex Raymond, Al Williamson and John Prentice, without any of the redrawn and recontextualised fashion photography, text and thematic elements that make up the other half of the comic? Well, would you be interested[...]
