Cerebus #256

The twenty-fifth chapter of "Going Home" arrives with a cover that feels genuinely poetic — Gerhard's photorealistic artwork captures a deep amber sunset, bare winter trees silhouetted against a glowing sky, the warm orb of the sun hanging low on the horizon. It's a quietly melancholic image that suits the arc's title perfectly, evoking journey's end and the bittersweet pull of return. Dave Sim and Gerhard's long-running Aardvark-Vanaheim series continues to deliver the kind of thoughtful, distinctive comics that reward patient readers.
