Swords of Cerebus

A six-issue Aardvark-Vanaheim series from 1981–1984, Swords of Cerebus is a companion to Dave Sim’s main Cerebus saga, collecting earlier short stories and side adventures. These tales spotlight the aardvark mercenary and his bumbling bard sidekick Elrod, offering a lighter, more episodic glimpse into their world before the epic’s deeper narrative took hold. It’s a fond, essential detour for fans of Sim’s groundbreaking independent work.
