Cerebus The Tumblr

Tumbling the art of "Cerebus the Aardvark," Dave Sim, and Gerhard. 'Cerebus' was the longest running self-published comic book ever. It was published monthly (more or less) from December 1979 until March 2004.
Cerebus #114 - Jaka’s Story, Prologue.“Nurse’s ‘rise and shine’ carried with it the undertone of malicious resignation peculiar to mothers whom Terim (in her infinite mercies) has seen fit not to bless with live births of their own.Riiise.And shine.Riiise.And shine.”

“Nurse’s ‘rise and shine’ carried with it the undertone of malicious resignation peculiar to mothers whom Terim (in her infinite mercies) has seen fit not to bless with live births of their own.

Riiise.

And shine.

Riiise.

And shine.”

“Listen. Kid. Cerebus is in love with your wife.” The first time I can remember hearing about Cerebus was wondering about this cool Jaka’s Story era t-shirt. It was still a few months later until I borrowed all the individual issues of JS, reading the entire storyline in one night. Quite an experience. But, it always comes back to this t-shirt for me. Sorry for the bad quality - I don’t own one, and couldn’t find a better jpeg.

Another World without Cerebus piece, “Collateral Damage” by the amazing Gerhard. This one a view from the empty hotel room back in Iest, presumably while Cerebus is on his way to the Moon.

The cover to Cerebus 112/113, one of my favorite single issues. It’s almost entirely “silent” as Cerebus is suddenly returned to a deserted and destroyed Upper City. The issue is not included in the trade paperback of Church and State, vol. II, but was reprinted in Cerebus #0 in 1994(ish).

Why not? Here’s another take on Cerebus (and Sim’s favorite alternate version, in the story “Cerebus Dreams”) by the legendary Barry Windsor-Smith, for the cover Swords of Cerebus #1. Hat-tip: Moment of Cerebus.

Cover to Cerebus Jam #1, painted by Bill Sienkiewicz. Gorgeous - the original still hangs at the top of the stairs at the Off-White House offices of Aardvark-Vanaheim. Someone needs to start a Sienkiewicz Tumblr.

The Judge may not have been what he claimed, but he was mostly right on this one. Except that Cerebus ended up living many, many more years.

A panel from Cerebus 107, with the Judge, or as he is also known… Just found this great Cerebus blog site, Moment of Cerebus, which posts one Cerebus-related item a day. Looks great - and well maintained. The editor of this blog knows from experience that the daily post can be an elusive goal. I own issue 107, always wished I had a little more background info on Jules Feiffer’s Judge, and now this link has given it to me - thanks!
