I just read the last issue of Cerebus. That’s it; ain’t any more.

For an insane guy, Dave Sim sure draws a pretty comic. It never stopped being gorgeous. I wish I could say kinder things about it; I am staggered by the weight of it. Thousands upon thousands of pages. There have been few such extended achievements.

When both he and Gerhard are dead, Cerebus will enter the public domain. He has arranged for the negatives to remain with trustworthy custodians, and they will be available to those who wish to reprint any portion of it. The attentive will notice that those two statements are not entirely congruent. Who knows?

I’m going to spoil the end now.

Well, copyright does mean "right to make/distribute copies" and not necessarily "right to the original negatives/manuscript/whatever". i.e. you can place something in the public domain and still sell copies, you just can't prohibit others from doing so as well.

I didn't read the spoiler because I might someday want to finish reading the epic... I think I stalled at #8 or something. Minds and Reads?
