Hi, Everybody!
The Strange Death of Alex Raymond.
![]()
What is it?
Spinning out of Dave Sim's history of photo-realism in comics from his series glamourpuss (April 2008 - July 2012), The Strange Death of Alex Raymond deals with the death of Alex Raymond in an accident while driving Stan Drake's 1956 Corvette on September 6th, 1956, and all the "Comic-Art Metaphysics" (as Sim has dubbed it,) that goes along with that.
The artwork has been completely redrawn by Dave Sim, and is not just a reprint of what appeared in glamourpuss. After Sim began to suffer a mysterious hand malady that prevented him from drawing, the art continued to be produced by painter Carson Grubaugh from layouts by Sim.
Recently, Sim has decided to suspend all work on The Strange Death of Alex Raymond. Carson Grubaugh has (with Sim's permission) taken over the efforts to get the book published and bring it to market.

Projected to run for five volumes, the first two volumes are completed and print-ready. This comes to a total of a 251 pages. An additional twenty-one pages of mock-ups were produced by Sim for Volume Three and will be completed by Grubaugh once an agreement to secure publishing has been reached. Carson has an additional twenty-or-so page ending plotted to wrap up the reading experience of the work (again, if an agreement to publish can be reached).
Any publisher interested in the project can contact Carson at grubaughc@yosemite.edu
