Cerebus #237

Issue #237 of Dave Sim and Gerhard's long-running Cerebus continues the "Going Home" arc with a cover that feels quietly unlike anything else in 1998 comics — a photorealistic, fog-softened landscape of tall grasses and a solitary tree dissolving into a pale mist, rendered entirely by Gerhard with no characters in sight. The mood is contemplative and almost melancholy, letting atmosphere do the heavy lifting in a way that demands a second look. It's a reminder of how ambitiously Aardvark-Vanaheim pushed the boundaries of what an independent comic cover could be.
