Cerebus: High Society #2
In "The Kidnapping of an Aardvark," Cerebus finds himself held captive by the bickering duo Dirty Fleagle McGrew and Dirty Drew, who demand a ransom. Instead of panicking, he turns the tables with a surprisingly calm proposition: a high-stakes game of Diamondback, complete with rules he’s just invented on the spot. Written and illustrated by Dave Sim, this 1990 issue delivers a sharp, character-driven twist in the series’ ongoing saga, with the cover by Dave Sim capturing the absurd tension of the moment.
