Thanks for posting this, Roger. It remains one of the most fascinating stories in comics history, and I appreciate you sharing your memories of that time!
well, the link comparing the real and fake Cerebus WAS working. But there are discussions out there: http://boards.collectors-society.com/showthreaded.php?Number=785085
This, BTW, is the message I've received about 50% of the time trying to access that article delineating the real mag from the faux:
Sorry, this GeoCities site is currently unavailable.
The GeoCities web site you were trying to view has temporarily exceeded its data transfer limit. Please try again later.
I inherited a lot of Cerebus (and why is the plural NOT Cerebi??) and recently tried to auction a genuine #1 along with a bonus counterfeit, clearly identified, at no additional charge. My guy, who died 8 years ago today, bought some of each in the late '70s... one unknowingly for $168, the rest as curiosities. He was a completist collector.
I was almost instantly ALERTED! by eBay that I had done a terrible, terrible thing. I cannot sleep nights now. I'm not so afraid of eBay coming to get me as I removed the bogus book... but will I go to Sim/Gerhard hell now? And what do I do with four fakes?
Thank you,
Yr Mst Hmbl & Obdt Svt,

haha.
I was always surprised that more b&w "hot" comics weren't counterfeited.
I recall one time a certain publisher (I describe the guy as a comic book artist who became a pimp) called me at my shop wanting me to sell a comic he did with, I think, the guy who created a certain "bad girl" character. He was reprinting the hell out of them and wanted me to sell them as first prints, but didn't want the other creator to find out about it.
Somehow, miraculously, the guy who created the other character did find out and put a sudden stop to the counterfeiting.
