From the Glamourpuss press release:
Beginning in April, 2008, world-record-holding graphic novelist Dave Sim will officially return to periodical comic books with a new bi-monthly title called glamourpuss to beself-published by him through Aardvark-Vanaheim, Inc. which celebrated its 30th anniversary in December of 2007.

Glamourpuss is partly Sim’s take on the history of photo realism in comics (starting with Alex Raymond’s Rip Kirby in 1946), partly a fashion magazine parody and partly a “sincerely weird super-heroine comic” (the fictional editor and publisher in her alcohol-caffeine- and anti-depressant-enhanced imagination imagines herself to be the psychic,super-powered glamourpuss).

“I’m starting it the same way I started Cerebus,” says Sim, alluding to his record-breaking 300-issue run on the title from 1977 to 2004. “Three bi-monthly issues and we’ll see how it goes from there.”
