Over the months, I've gotten a number of mail requests (I think prompted by the "Welcome to rec.arts.comics" postings) for my Cerebus checklist, which I've had to respond to with a "Sorry, but I never kept it on-line, so I'd have to re-create it from scratch." Well, I managed to run across a copy of an earlier checklist. I've only added a couple of items to the checklist, basically some of the EPIC ILLUSTRATED items that I'd neglected for some reason, as they were forefront in my mind (due to my having recently answered a request for them). This checklist also does not take into account any of the biweekly reprint series. Since I've not been buying the biweekly, I do not have a good handle on what's appeared there and what's not. There are bound to be other ommissions, most notably any "non-story" items such as portfolios and cover appearances and the like. I don't really want to expend the effort to keep it maintained and up to date, so I'd like a volunteer to "take it over". To that end, I'm posting what I have one final time, and let you guys fight it out as to whom gets the job as Keeper of the List. Just be sure to tell Paul Estin, so he can modify that part of his "Welcome" articles. For the nonce, I'll be continuing to maintain my Concrete Checklist, though I may want to pawn that one off as well at some point in the future.

The limited edition print run finally showed up today and I guessed right that the epilogue part of #138 was included. Also, for those who ordered the regular edition, that will apparently be shipping on the 19th. >Other unreprinted stories: >^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ >SWORDS OF CEREBUS, Vol. 6 "A Night on the Town" Well, actually this one has been reprinted.
