CEREBUS
"There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, but one should
always make new ones. Repeating mistakes is a hallmark of a dim consciousness."
- Suenteus Po
Cerebus the Aardvark is a black-and-white, 300 issue long novel
in comic book form. It tells the story of an Aardvark, he's a warrior, politician, religious leader, bartender
(depending on which book you read). I began reading Cerebus when I was 15 years old and also reading other comics
(Spiderman, Batman etc...), I've outgrown most all super-hero comics but I still read Cerebus. Dave Sim, the writer,
artist, self publisher of the comic has been doing the book since 1977. It's really quite amazing seeing that most
comic book writers & artists can't even stick with a book for 1 year.
