In Cerebus #81, written and drawn by Dave Sim with art by Gerhard and inks by both, the surreal mystery deepens as the Bug attempts to unravel the enigmatic Secret Sacred Wars for Cerebus. Just as things grow more incomprehensible, a bizarre, luminous entity arrives—literally consuming Cerebus in a moment of bewildering, otherworldly intervention. The cover, a collaborative effort by Sim and Gerhard, captures the issue’s unsettling tone with its stark, glowing imagery.
