Cerebus #276

Against a blazing orange wall of flame, the cover of Cerebus #276 presents a striking figure — a muscular, yellow-furred entity draped in a sweeping red-and-black cloak, adorned with skulls, chains, and bladed weapons, bearing the bold proclamation "…And Men Shall Call Him SPORE." Dave Sim's cover art for this "Latter Days" chapter carries a genuinely ominous, almost mythic weight, framing this imposing creature with the kind of theatrical menace that keeps readers deeply invested in Cerebus's long-running saga. At issue #276 in 2002, Dave Sim and Gerhard's remarkable 300-issue journey is nearing its conclusion, and covers like this one remind you just how ambitious and singular this series has always been.
