Cerebus #62

Part of Cerebus's long-running independent saga from Aardvark-Vanaheim, issue #62 arrives in 1984 bearing the intriguing title "Appointments." Dave Sim's cover depicts a portly, bandaged figure slumped heavily in a wooden chair, while inset panels above show a wigged official, Cerebus himself in a vest, and a dark-haired figure in a jacket — suggesting a cast of characters converging on something significant. It's a quietly compelling composition that captures the sophisticated, character-driven tone that made this series a standard-bearer for creator-owned comics in its era.
