“The Poet 7”

Part of Dave Sim and Gerhard's celebrated "Jaka's Story" arc, this August 1989 issue presents a quietly arresting cover: a stout figure in vest and breeches bends forward to paint something dark and low to the ground, set against a misty, almost watercolor streetscape of faded buildings. The restrained palette and vast negative space feel closer to fine-art illustration than typical comics craft, a testament to the distinctive visual voice Sim and Gerhard brought to Cerebus throughout this period.
