Cerebus #282

Against the photographic backdrop of a weathered stone cloister, the aardvark Cerebus stands with his back to us, holding a magnifying glass as he contemplates something beyond our view — a quietly compelling image that suits the subtitle "Chasing YHWH" perfectly. This is Cerebus: Latter Days #17, with cover pencils and inks by Dave Sim and Ken Sim bringing the solitary figure to life amid ancient Gothic arches and towering trees. With the full creative team of Dave Sim and Gerhard inside, this 2002 installment promises the thoughtful, ambitious storytelling that has defined the long-running series.
