Swords of Cerebus #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume in the Swords of Cerebus series collects the early adventures of the earth-pig barbarian, featuring appearances by the roguish Elrod, the warrior Artemis Strong, and the pirate Red Sophia. The stories showcase Dave Sim's evolving art and storytelling as Cerebus encounters the villainous Cockroach and navigates the shifting politics of his world. A key collection for fans of the character's formative years, this edition compiles material from the original black-and-white comic series.
In "Swords Against Imesh," Cerebus leads his Conniptin army to the walled city of Imesh, where he launches a bold solo assault over the defenses. Inside, he finds the citizens reduced to drug-addled zombies, loyal only to their eccentric king, K'cor, who sets a deadly trial to test the intruder. Though Cerebus passes the gauntlet, K'cor refuses to honor the terms—worse, he reveals he’s poisoned every well in the region, leaving Cerebus to wonder if his soldiers are already dead.
