Dave Sim Does It Again - Zootanapuss #1
Posted on 9/13/2011
Dave Sim, co-creator of the World’s Longest Graphic Novel (CEREBUS, 1977 to 2004: 6,000 pages) does it again -- producing what he guesses will be the rarest #1 issue of 2011, the signed and numbered ZOOTANAPUSS #1 (November).
ZOOTANAPUSS #1 is the incentive variant cover of glamourpuss No. 22 -- which features 10 one-page stories starring Zootanapuss and Bunny, her One-Rabbit Wrecking Crew, including “The Secret Origin of Zootanpuss” and “The Origin of Bunny” -- and is only available by a retailer or consumer purchasing 4 copies of glamourpuss No. 22.
A test run of the program was performed using signed and numbered first printings of glamourpuss #1 as an incentive attached to glamourpuss #20, producing orders for 272 copies. Sim guesses that the entire print run of the signed and numbered ZOOTANAPUSS #1 will be in the vicinity of that number.
The offer applies to pre-orders only. All pre-orders are due at Diamond by September 30, 2011.
