Cerebus #255

The cover of this June 2000 issue from Aardvark-Vanaheim makes a striking choice: rather than featuring Cerebus himself, Gerhard's photorealistic cover art presents a dramatic coastal scene of ocean waves crashing against rocky cliffs beneath a moody, cloud-streaked sky. It's a hauntingly atmospheric image that speaks to the reflective, journey-oriented tone of the "Going Home" arc. Dave Sim and Gerhard continue their long-running collaboration inside, delivering another chapter of one of independent comics' most ambitious long-form narratives.
