Cerebus #17

This Cerebus Bi-Weekly reprint brings back issue #17 (1980) of Dave Sim's self-published saga in its entirety, spotlighting the story "Champion." The reproduced cover — rendered entirely by Sim in pencils and inks — depicts a brooding, dark-cloaked figure looming over two smaller hooded companions huddled against what appears to be driving rain, the whole scene radiating quiet menace. It's a striking snapshot of Sim's early craft, framed here against a collage of other Cerebus covers that speaks to just how rich this long-running series truly is.
