Cerebus the Vark Knight Returns #1
In "Batvark's Wedding Vows," Cerebus the Vark—now a knight in the afterlife—finds himself in Hell, where he’s stunned to learn that Dave Sim is releasing him into the public domain. Determined to reclaim his legacy, Cerebus declares his own Civil War, forcing the denizens of Hell to pick sides in a battle for his future. Written by Dave Sim and illustrated with striking, surreal flair by Gustave Doré and Dave Sim, this bold return blends absurdist humor with meta-commentary, all wrapped in a cover by Dave Sim that captures the chaos in bold, unmistakable lines.
