Vark Thing!
Happy 2011 from your friends here at ComiXpress!
If you’re a fan of great indie comics, there’s a dialogue going on between Dave Sim (Cerebus, Cerebus Archive, Glamourpuss, Judenhass) and Steve Bissette (Swamp Thing, Tyrant, Taboo) that you won’t want to miss.
CerebusTV.com is currently running two episodes featuring Bissette, and the conversation continues on Steve’s own blog at SRBissette.com. Dave’s original art for Vark Thing (shown above) is also up on eBay this week.
If you like looking under the hood of indie comics and seeing what makes the motor go, I can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy!
We wanted to let everyone know that Customer Service will be closed for the holidays starting Friday, December 24th and we’ll return on Monday, January 3rd. There will be a skeleton crew working like oppressed little elves to make sure any early January deadlines are still met.
We wish everyone a happy holiday season and a peaceful and healthy 2011!

Cerebus TV Returns!
CEREBUS TV SEASON 2 PREMIERE: “How I Almost Once Worked With Harvey Pekar”
Cerebus TV Season 2 Premiere Episode will be showing from Friday October 22nd at 10pm EST at CerebusTV.com
Dave Sim says:-
“When Harvey Pekar died this past summer, I knew I wanted to do a piece called ‘How I Almost Worked with Harvey Pekar Once’ for CEREBUS TV. The story start with Diana Schutz, then backtracks to the Creator’s Bill of Rights in 1998, a panel I did with Harvey and Jim Woodring in 2005… television is about stripped a story down to its bare essentials, but this story just kept getting bigger… and eventually led to the decision to make the September 24th signing at STRANGE ADVENTURES Dave Sim’s Last Signing…. which I explain on the show which is now the One-Hour SECOND SEASON PREMIERE of CEREBUS TV.”
How did ALMOST working with Harvey Pekar once — and even getting as far as doing an AMERICAN SPLENDOR cover featuring Sim, Pekar and Chester Brown — lead to Dave Sim’s Last Signing? Tune in Friday October 22nd at 10pm EST at CerebusTV.com and find out!
