Every issue a new number one! Dave Sim continues to republish his Cerebus online strips, with new stuff, with each issue parodying a classic comic book and getting a new issue one in the process A practice first perfected by Evan Dorkin, I believe, for Milk & Cheese back in the day. So Aardvark Comics takes on[...]

But the Kickstarter for Dave Sim's Cerebus Archive reproduction of original Cerebus art pages, this time from the book Melmoth, continues.

I am a big fan of Dave Sim and his comic book series Cerebus I consider it one of the leading works of the medium of the twenty-first century. But I'm not so much of a fan that I'd leave half a million dollars in my will to preserve it for all time. But this guy is[...]

As well as a forward by Dave Sim, who originally published the comic and an afterword by Steve Bissette, it states that it includes a new story by Alan Moore.

One of the folks who has been working with Dave Sim on the Cerebus archive, he clearly feels that an extra dimension is in order… As you can see, the figure is fully articulated And quite sizeable Cerebus, put George down!

And Blofeld may not have a white cat… So, yes, Dave Sim could if he wanted, publish James Bond comic books It's just that most of us wouldn't be able to get copies… legally.   On January the 1st, the character of James Bond entered public domain in Canada Which mean, if anyone so wishes, they could[...]

The Puma Blues by Michael Zulli and Stephen Murphy. Originally published by Dave Sim's Aardvark One International (then Mirage), this environmentally themed sci-fi/experimental barrative comic introduced the comic reading public to Michael Zulli's art, even as it was an early example of Diamond Comic Distributors bully-boy tactics, Diamond refusing to distribute the comic as revenge for[...]

Which[...]

But it also gave him the opportunity to sell signed and numbered editions, and for people to keep the name[...]

Creator of the long-running, legendary Cerebus, Dave Sim writes about revisiting those early issues, with an all-star cast.

My[...]

Courtesy of the Chris Ryall blog… There was a theory that the Doctor Who: Prisoners Of Time twelve issue series, each featuring a different Doctor for the anniversary year, would do something interesting as there are only eleven Doctors… so far.
