Are You Sure Dave Sim Did This?
:: Posted by Bryan @ 12/28/2007 01:06:00 AM 
The website for Dave Sim's long-awaited post-Cerebus comic book project is now up. Apparently, the project is an on-going monthly series entitled Glamourpuss, available through comics retailers in April 2008. The website bills the comic as a combination fashion magazine parody, Alex Raymond homage, and superhero adventure.
At the same time as the publicity for this project has launched, Sim has also announced he will be discontinuing his weblog, Dave Sim's blogandmail, the main forum for the last few years, outside of the Following Cerebus fanzine and yahoo discussion group, for Sim's political, philosphical, and artistic musing. According to Sim, a computer crash has helped the project along:
As for me, it seems my "lifelong" prison sentence has turned out to be just short of four years: a year answering the backlog of mail when CEREBUS ended, keeping up with the mail (total of a little less than 3,000 pages) and doing the Blog & Mail (probably another 2,000 pages) as well as various articles, interviews, reviews, etc. As I said all along, I was just reading into the record and it looks as if God decided that I didn't have much to add (I was starting to wonder: I think I've answered every question at least five times!).
I will be spending roughly 100 hours on the Internet promoting my new bi-monthly title (starting, God willing, January 30 at 6 pm EDST on the Comics Journal Message boards and then going on from there. I'll be posting my schedule at that time).
I know this was supposed to be the official launch of the new title here on Boxing Day but, you know, in a strange way it IS! The official launch will now take place when Jeff Tundis declares the website officially and totally up and running. We'll pick up from there January 30 through most of the month of February when the ordering period is.
