The Great 2019 AMOC Re-Read Part, the third

Hi Everybody!

The Bizness:

There's a Indiegogo live for the birthday card if you missed the Kickstarter and want one.

Comiclink auctions.

The remastered Volume 1, digitally for $9.99.

Speaking of Volume 1,
The GREAT a Moment of Cerebus 2019 Re-Read 
                                                                                                                                                                 

Well, I finished "Year Two," ie: issues 7 through 12.

Let's check the Motifs:

Issue 6 ended with Cerebus NOT walking away in silhouette, so that means issue 7 must end...

Ah damn it!!!

Dave starts "Year Two" by going back to "formula."

But, he does move away from the stock Cerebus ending in "Year Two":

Issue Eight

Issue 9

Issue 10

Issue 11

 Of course, Dave DOES return to formula to close out "Year Two":

Issue 12

                                                                                                                                                              

Now, the other motif of "Unreliable Narrators" continues with the "Know Ye O' Prince" omniscient narrator of the first year. (Although, issue one's narrator, is technically someone from the town:)

And, ironically, Cerebus enters the issue in silhouette...

                                                                                                                                                             

The other big difference for "Year Two," is continuing story lines.

Issue 6 ends with Cerebus going to find the Black Sun treasure, issue 7 starts with him continuing that. Although, the treasure changes from 6 to 7:

Issue 6

Issue 7

I don't know if Dave just "lost the plot" in the month after he finished issue six, or what...
                                                                                                                                                                 

Another thing I noticed, and I think it's thanks to the beauty of the 17th printing, is Dave's "laziness" in a couple of panels.

(To be honest, it's less "laziness," and more cartooning shortcuts. In glamourpuss, Dave talks about Alex Raymond's abilities, and asks, "how does he DO that?!?" I had the same reaction to these panels:)

Issue 9

Look at the last two panels of page 186 (heh,) It's Cerebus leading the Conniptins to Imesh, but it's also just a bunch of circles. 

Issue 10

And then this panel on page 218. Cerebus isn't even toned, and Sophia doesn't have a face, but in the context of the page (which I've conveniently cropped), you know what it's supposed to be.

Truly, the "amateur" has grown.
                                                                                                                                                                  

Another thing about "Year Two" is that Dave does a bit of "Cerebus' Greatest Hits" by bringing back characters from the first year. I don't know, because I'm reading the phonebook, and not the original issues (or the reprints, or Swords), if these were fan demanded returns, or if Dave just decided to bring them back. But we get the return of Elrod in issue 7:

 And Red Sophia in issue 10:

                                                                                                                                                                   

Alright, I might talk more about "Year Two" tomorrow.

Next Time: Either, "Year Two" or the transcript of Please Hold...
