Cerebus #7
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeSubtitled "Elpod Again" on the cover, this December 1978 issue of Cerebus the Aardvark from Aardvark-Vanaheim features a cover by Frank Thorne that bursts with kinetic energy — a wild-haired, cape-wearing sorcerer leaps forward in mid-shout, flanked by a pair of aardvarks and pursued by cloaked, armed figures against a stark yellow sky and shadowy castle silhouette. The "Elpod Again" banner hints at a returning trickster presence, making this a tantalizing entry in Dave Sim's long-running independent series. It's a vivid snapshot of the sword-and-sorcery flavor Sim was crafting entirely on his own in the early days of the black-and-white comics scene.

Approaching the Black Sun temple on its mountain, Cerebus meets up with Elrod, who is also searching for the treasure. While they creep through the corridors of the temple, one of the priests of the temple hatches a plan to impersonate the Nameless God of the temple. One problem: his costume makes him look very similar to Cerebus. After several slapstick encounters and mistaken identities (Elrod isn't very bright), Cerebus ends up falling into the temple's central chasm, which houses a gigantic spider. Things looks grim until the volcano comes to life and fires Cerebus far out into the desert.
