Jaka Tavers

Jaka Tavers is a recurring figure in Dave Sim's Cerebus universe, connected to Lord Julius Tavers and moving through the political and social world inhabited by Cerebus and Astoria across the High Society storyline.

Born from Mike Grell's imagination and introduced in Comics Scene #9 in 1983, Jaka Tavers is a Bronze Age creation who found her most meaningful home within the pages of Dave Sim's landmark Cerebus universe — particularly across Cerebus: High Society and the Cerebus Bi-Weekly reprints. She moves through a world populated by figures like Cerebus himself, the sharp-tongued Astoria, and Lord Julius Tavers, placing her squarely in one of alternative comics' most ambitious and celebrated corners. With only a handful of catalogued appearances, she's a character for the dedicated explorer — the kind of discovery that makes digging through the Aardvark-Vanaheim back catalog so rewarding.
