    1st printing. By Eric Hoffman. In December 1977, struggling Canadian comic book artist Dave Sim self-published the first issue of Cerebus the Aardvark, a Conan the Barbarian satire featuring a foul-tempered, sword-wielding creature trapped in a human world. Over the next 26 years, Sim, and later collaborator Gerhard, produced an epic 6,000-page graphic novel, the longest-running English language comic series by a single creative team. This in-depth work, the first collection of critical essays on Cerebus, provides a multifaceted approach to Sim and Gerhard's complex and entertaining oeuvre. Softcover, 238 pages, B&W. Cover price $45.00.

    Written by Dave Sim. Art by Dave Sim and Gustave Dore. Cover by Benjamin Hobbs. It all starts when Super-Cerebus eats a batch of Red Xenonite brownies which, in this case, causes his Amphetamine Vision to run wild, killing the infernal dead with heart attacks! Because they're already dead (the third or fourth time around, actually), it causes them to become 'Nietzsche-ed'! Which really hacks off Satan! Fortunately, Super-Cerebus is able to switch into his civilian identity as Kent Olsen, FOX NEWS Gehenna news anchor! And just in the nick of time, Dante and Virgil change the channel to Ophidian Sportsnet 2's 'Red State vs. Blue State Bloodbath Live.' Don't Miss: Satan's flawless Rupert Murdoch impression! Don't Miss! The Cerebus In Hell? Emergency Change of Premise! Don't Miss! 48 pages, B&W. Cover price $8.00.
