Cerebus: High Society #5

In "Debts," Cerebus finds himself in a tight spot—deep in debt to some very unpleasant creditors—and decides to turn the tables with a bold, if risky, plan. He lures a wealthy patron to dinner, gets him thoroughly drunk, and pitches a wildly extravagant scheme involving gold streetlamps in Palnu, all while navigating the ever-watchful eye of the matchless Moon Roach. Written and illustrated by Dave Sim, this issue blends sharp satire with the series’ signature surreal flair, delivering a story that’s as clever as it is unpredictable. The cover, also by Dave Sim, captures the moment’s tension with his unmistakable style.
