“I don’t consider unauthorised [online] availability of the 6,000 page Cerebus graphic novel to be illegal…” - Dave Sim, quoted at the excellent A Moment of Cerebus. Seriously, that is a very, very good site. Kudos to whoever is posting there!

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.”

“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.

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!

I guess I should have posted this one before the moonshot.

Inside the Tower - as it was heading towards the moon - Cerebus still on his way, with the help of the Flaming Carrot, to the top.

Do yourself a favor and check out Bob Burden’s stuff.

The gold sphere. The top (- almost -) of the tower. The moon. The ASCENSION. (Not the final one, of course). Cerebus on his way to meet The Judge - a two-page spread from issue 104, “This Flame, This Carrot.”

The second appearance of the phrase “Something fell,” and perhaps the one that gave it the lure of mysticism associated with it in its next five mentions in the Cerebus series.

Astoria!

Great Andrena!

Po!

Okay, so I got slightly ahead of myself there at the end. The Tarim v. Terim theology was a huge undercurrent through the Cerebus storyline from pretty much day one. From ‘The Trial.’

Issue #100 of Cerebus originally shipped June 29, 1987, and brought Aardvark-Vanaheim back in schedule with the monthly nature of the comic.

I don’t believe it shipped more than a few weeks late ever again in its run until completion in March 2004.

A week from today at 10pm EST - the airing of the 100th episode of CerebusTV.

“It’s 10pm Friday in downtown Kitchener, that means it’s time for CEREBUS TV….”

quenosabes:

Con tres tomos publicados ya en España parece que Cerebus se va consolidando en nuestro mercado, una buena noticia sin duda habida cuenta de la calidad del material que hemos podido leer hasta ahora.

A diferencia del primer tomo, Iglesia y Estado II es bastante más complejo y uno no siempre termina de ver claro lo que Sim esta queriendo decir, siendo en ocasiones hasta demasiado cripitico, lo que hace que la obra este abierta a muchas interpretaciones.
