I haven’t thought of Dave Sim in quite a while.I read every page of Cerebus. In addition to the slapstick and adventure story, there were several episodes of breathtaking emotional intensity, presented with a power and realism as effective as any in literature. Not to mention brilliant biographical pieces on Wilde, Hemingway, and and Fitzgerald. Not bad for what started out as an amateurish Conan parody. I read a fair amount of his post Cerebus writing, and in many ways, his heartbreaking descent into madness was a fate worse than death, That said, I would recommend Cerebus to anyone.When Gerhard began to contribute. every page became a work of art, and the scope of this work is literally indescribable.
