Cerebus #94

From Aardvark-Vanaheim's long-running independent series, this January 1987 issue presents a striking cover by Dave Sim and Gerhard — a top-down, vertiginous composition showing Cerebus the aardvark looming over a dark-haired woman who appears unconscious or restrained against a stone wall, massive chains dominating the upper frame. The tilted, almost dizzying perspective gives the scene real unease, showcasing the expressive linework that made Sim and Gerhard's collaboration so compelling throughout this era. Titled "So," issue #94 arrives at a point in Cerebus where the storytelling had grown genuinely ambitious, and this unsettling cover image makes a strong case for what was waiting inside.
