He's controversial as hell but I really hope you guys get to do that Shoot interview with him one day, You guys get the best out of your subjects and Sim is definitely perfect for your format.
This was most welcome. Gerhard was a god-king of background art. His stuff was easily Berserk-tier.
I learn english reading Cerebus. Was Incredible read this.
The way Dave transforms the plot, judging from the combination of everything - starting as a weird parody of Conan and moving through various narrative styles that take shape in Cerebus - Dave Sim's work can be considered postmodern.
Cerebus is astonishing. Incredible stuff.
Cerebus is a goddamn master class on comics. I studied the hell out of his layouts and visual storytelling.
The Cerebus remasters are top of the line stuff I think a video comparing the remastered volumes and the og issues and/or the older phone book printing. I already own every phone book but as they are remastered I will easily double dip. I also own the cover art treasury, the following Cerebus zines, and the spin offs. My favorite comic book ever published. From Hell is my second.
Sim did a Kickstarter releasing his version of that Spawn issue. I haven’t cracked it open yet, but I believe he adds onto the story.
Thank you for doing this! You guys really get it!
Are you going to do something on First Kingdom? How about something on Elquest?
Hi chaps.I had a comic shop in newcastle upon tyne in england in the '80's and '90's,Dave sold boxes of the telephone directories direct to any shop that wanted them at a great discount and it allowed us to sell us to sell them at a lot less than cover price.We ordered about 10 boxes of each and never had to use Titan Distributors/Diamond. thank you Dave.
I followed Cerebus starting with Issue 15 and stopped at around 150, collected fanzines, portfolios, all that ephemera. High Society and Church & State are the high points for me. While Cerebus evolved I found it the opposite of entertaining.
Only bad thing about the phone books is the lack of covers. The covers for Cerebus where always really classy.
Agreed. But they finally released a book of collected covers with annotations by the creators. Now I’m just missing the mail bag of fan letters from each issue
Sim is great. I want to see you guys do a Shoot interview with him one of these days. I have all of the phone books, and those covers alone are phenomenal. Such monumentality. High Society might be my favorite trade paperback cover of all.
"Probably stop somewhere in the middle, you know what I mean?" I think I laughed in the same tone after that one.
Thanks for showing this. I found Cerebus towards the end of High Society and just loved it and enjoyed watching it develop over time
I ALWAYS watch these videos to the end.. not to help the algorithm but because Ed and Jim are fucking awesome!!!! Oh and their breakdowns and over views on comics are fucking dope too!
Cerebus follows the same nose evolution as Opus from Bloom County
what an amazingly intelligent conversation. I'm new to the media, but I love comics. Imagination is our only limit. I started drawing and making strips with my kids. Turns out drawing and creating comics/stories is very fun. I watching Sims because I want to right an epoch. Thanks guys for the content, new sub, all the best
Prior to Cerebus, Sim was running an ad in the Buyer's Guide as a comics packaging service, kind of a facade offering up a writer, letterer, artist, as if he were a shop and not just one person. I can't remember what the hell he called himself, but one guy that hired the service was Canadian Jim McPherson, for his book Phantacea, which Sim plugged in Cerebus # 1. Phantacea still exists and it's kind of a trippy, hard to digest metaphysical superhero/fantasy mythos, that I haven't actually read much of, but it's an eccentric vision that maybe deserves a look.
thanks discussing cerebus.
@17:30
WOW!!! i remember having a real human skeleton in our biology class in high school in the 80s
Get on the phone and leave Dave a message. (You can find his contact info on the Moment of Cerebus blog) He may be labeled as "controversial" but the most interesting people usually are. I've had many interactions with him and he's always been nice and a huge supporter of my own indy comic, 'Jack Grimm: Harbinger of Death'. I'm sure he'd be happy to grant you guys an interview.
I got to meet Gerhard at Heroes Con one year. He signed the Cerebus READS collection I found at the Con that weekend
my fav hands down. #12 was the start of it for me.
Dude is kind of crazy, but the art is good.
Great tribute to the alpha and omega's of Cerebus. I always loved his covers where he used other characters like Wolverine and Thing. A pretty on issue series with some great comedic undertones.
I just read issue #1 for the first time last night. Y'all gettin clairvoyant.
I read the phone-book sized Cerebus collection in my last year of high school.The idea of an animal walking though a fantasy world, something like TMNT but more based around Conan was a fun idea. Cerebus made fun of superheros, politics and religion in a way I have not seen other earlier comic do. I think Cerebus showed other comic book creators that they did not have to work for the big two. Perhaps I am off the mark but the book feels historically significant for this. I don't agree with Dave Sim's view on women (I think Dave makes his views evident in issue 186), however Cerebus should be remembered for more than this.
Stoked for this one!
I remember walking into the comic shop by my house in Brooklyn in the 80s during the bnw indie era and Cerberus usagi puma blues and tmnt were the comics everyone wanted
That’s it
Oh and mage grendel primus 1
Just saw this awesome vid...gotta say (and I'm sure someone has pointed this out) but the Dave Sim Spawn issue is well known in certain circles and, well, not his best work...super important that TODD gave him an avenue when nobody else would. McFarlane was a big advocate for Dave Sim and made one of his life's goal was to beat Dave Sim's record of 300 issues of self-published material...all from one creator. He did that, not to long ago, and not to many people cared. Yet, that's what happens to great artists...nobody cared for Van Gogh while he was living.
I just came across this interview with Gerhard describing the process they used to work together: Dave sent finished, inked art of panels, characters and word balloons to Gerhard to draw backgrounds around. He was so nervous to ruin Dave's finished art at first he drew his backgrounds on a separate page, cut out where the characters were, and then pasted them down around them. ruclips.net/video/z2NKTib0TNs/видео.html
Thanks for this. Sim is who he is but Cerebus deserves a lot of study by artists.
Yo Kayfabe….we need a Kamandi video
Sim did recently reprint his Spawn issue with a crowdfunding campaign.
Y'all are right, cerebus is great if you only talk about the art.
Got a lot of cerebus books and telephone books at the bugiling. Miss that shop. Also basically stole an awesome framed “the first half” poster
CEREBUS sort of ran outta steam after "Jaka' Story"> ALL c did was sit around and then die!! The Stooges were fun!!
Now we’re talkin!
who has the entire run bought at cover price?
It isn't heaven without Rick lol
