Maaaan, I REALLY hate that ampersand. We're going to come to blows one of these days!
Thank u, been looking for these for a long time!
one of the best series EVER!!!
My undieing gratitude. I got more then 80% of your postings up to now.
I have 2 questions/requests.
My real collection and digital of Cerebus is complete up till issue 300. But everything after that like companion, fanzines, Glamourpuss is missing.
Do you have these things and can you post them?
And he 2nd question is : do you plan a RESTORE of issue 1-300? Many of the scans were taken from reprints. About the same as my real collection that starts between 60 and 70 with first printings.
Many thanks in advance, and I will follow your posts as long as you make them.

First of all, thanks everyone! I had fears that there would be no interest in this upload. It warms my old (well, middle-aged, I suppose), dry guts to know that even a few people still care.
Second, blattsucker, get out of my head! Yes, I'm already working on a 'Restore' of 1-300 (Cerebus was the other book I discovered in the Summer of 82). Although a lot of issues 1-25 will be the Cerebus Bi-Weekly releases (not a big deal in my opinion, since the creator of the book is starting the digital side with High Society anyway). I'm pretty sure I'll be 'Restoring' a lot of the same files you have, but it will still be all 300 issues, scanned cover to cover. All the Notes From The President, Editorials and Letter Columns. All 6000 (plus!) pages bright white and the same size. With the recent news that Dave may actually be stepping away from comics for good and his STILL rigidly stubborn thoughts concerning the idea of letting anybody else publish Cerebus (even a great company like Fantagraphics), I think it's time to get this done.
Also, Glamourpuss? Yeah, today! Spooky man, spooky.

I've got the other version that is out and yours is much cleaner - thanks for the hard work. Hope to see more b&w comics you've restored.

Thanks for the kind words m0rdant, and you're very welcome. Good to hear that you can tell the difference between the two. That's what makes it worth the effort. In regards to the b&w stuff, a pretty vast majority of everything I've uploaded as 'Restored' is b&w (probably 2/3 of it). I just labeled this one as such to be make it clear from the jump that these were not the same colored versions that have been around at TPB for quite a while. You can be sure I'll be upping MANY more of them, though. Probably this afternoon, in fact.

Also, it's been so long since I did the original scanning that I forgot to mention there are added pages in these books.
When Epic reprinted these books in color for the first time they ran them at the normal page count, which stretched the series out to 32 issues instead of the original 20. As such, some of the cut points didn't make any sense, so Wendy and Richard had to write and illustrate new ones to fill in the holes. Then, at some point over the years, either in the back of one version or another of the collected series, or maybe through the Elfquest website, those new pages were made available in b&w, even though they were first seen in color (got all that?). I've inserted them into each of these original issues at the appropriate spot. Also included one short color story that belongs with the contents of the issue it's in.

My sister-in-law was rambling about Elfquest today and I searched for it and found your scans. Thanks very much for all your hard work LeonardTSpock!
