Cerebus #88

Cerebus #88 from Aardvark-Vanaheim captures the aardvark anti-hero in a memorably dour mood — rain-soaked and scowling, he hunches over a snow-dusted brick ledge with his massive fists planted firmly in front of him, glaring out from beneath a stormy sky with unmistakable attitude. Dave Sim and Gerhard's cover work is a treat, rendering every raindrop and clenched knuckle with real texture and weight. If "Out With the In Crowd" sounds like Cerebus is feeling less than sociable, this brooding, beautifully crafted cover suggests exactly that.
