Description

“The Strange Death of Alex Raymond (page 214)” (2021)
by Carson Grubaugh (1981- ) and Dave Sim (1956-)
11 x 17 in., brush and ink on bristol board
Coppola Collection

In The Strange Death of Alex Raymond, Dave Sim, legendary creator of Cerebus the Aardvark, and Carson Grubaugh, talented and creative artist across multiple media, explore and examine the line-making techniques of some of comics' greatest photorealist creators.

The art is impressive. And thanks to work of master production designer and line-smith, Sean Michael Robinson, the integrity of the printing and reproduction is truly unmatched.

"The Strange Death of Alex Raymond" is self-contained in a 320-page, 8.25x12 inch oversized hardcover book.

From April 28 – May 22, 2021, the book is available for its normal retail price at a pre-sale Kickstarter. A S/N edition sold out on May 10.

Kickstarter.com, search for "The Strange Death of Alex Raymond."

There was also one (morbid) reward tier in the Kickstarter, a 1/1 edition with the original art for the bookplate affixed to the book along with a few pages of original art (“morbid” because the tier price of $906.56 is the date of the titular death).

Yes, yes… that was me who got it. I also picked up some other art that I liked from the book.

Page 214 was, as told by Carson, his first “real art” on the main content of the book as he took the wheel, to bring it home for the landing.

Another shot of Despondent Dave done by Crafty Carson.

There is some penciled-in dialog in that word balloon, and it is currently redacted.

Haha! For sure. The portrait in the middle really strikes me and it would have been great to have lots more of this kind of stuff in there, too.
