Bleeding Cool Has An Update On Lost Cerebus Negatives

Rich Johnston's Bleeding Cool site has a lengthy update on the fire that destroyed some of the negatives and equipment being used to assemble a digital edition of Dave Sim's High Society graphic novel, a project that had been successful kickstarted earlier this year. You should go read that article rather than read me sum it up, but it looks like, basically, the project may still come off if a bunch more time, energy and digital elbow grease is applied. The losses were partial but significant. I would imagine that another fundraiser with very specific parameters and a very specific, donated reward might end up being useful at some point, but that's really just me using my "I'm talking on the Internet so now I'm suddenly an expert at stuff" card. Actually, I have no idea if that would be useful or not, but it popped into my head.

That article links to this site, which I knew nothing about and which is sort of fascinating if you like to muse on how timing and reader participation can work in comics. And who doesn't? The article also links to this campaign to help out the person related to the project made homeless and stuff-less by that fire.
