Cerebus #66

Cerebus #66 from Aardvark-Vanaheim pairs a striking visual concept with the wonderfully absurdist story title "The Thrill of Agony and the Victory of Defeat." The cover, penciled and inked by Dave Sim, presents a torn-paper effect that reveals a dimly lit stone landscape within, where a robed Cerebus sits in the foreground while a nervous-looking human figure stands behind him beneath a glowing light. It's a quietly moody composition that captures the blend of melancholy and dry wit that made this long-running 1984 series so compelling.
