Cerebus #24

This Cerebus Bi-Weekly edition reprints Aardvark-Vanaheim's 1981 original issue #24 in its entirety, spotlighting the story "Swamp Sounds" with writing, art, and lettering all by Dave Sim, with inking contributions from Dave Dorman and Lurene Haines. The cover — penciled and inked by Sim — features the aardvark barbarian Cerebus straining dramatically within what appears to be a confined wooden structure, his powerful frame tense with effort against the planks surrounding him. It's a wonderfully moody and dynamic image that captures the raw energy Sim brought to the series in those formative early years.
