Cerebus #283

The cover of this October 2002 installment from Aardvark-Vanaheim takes a delightfully deadpan approach, presenting itself as a mock film poster — complete with production credits and a tongue-in-cheek tagline assuring readers that, yes, Cerebus is "Still Chasing YHWH." The aardvark himself appears small but determined at the top, while a dramatic photograph of a cathedral interior anchors the lower half, lending the whole thing an unexpectedly grand, spiritual atmosphere. With Dave Sim, Ken Sim, and Gerhard collaborating on the cover art, "Latter Days 18" wraps its ongoing theological ambitions in a wonderfully wry package.
