Dave Sim’s Epic Cerebus Series Now Available in Unprecedented Humble Bundle Deal
Humble Bundle describes Cerebus as a “sprawling epic spanning 6,000 pages, touching on humor, political satire, and the wide-ranging philosophical musings of its creator Dave Sim.” So basically, it’s a comic book that’s not afraid to get deep and meaningful while also featuring a sword-wielding aardvark. From early graphic novel chapters like High Society to the grand finale in The Last Day, this bundle promises to give you a taste of indie comic greatness.
For those unfamiliar with Cerebus, it was a groundbreaking 300-issue self-published comic that paved the way for the indie comics movement. Initially starting as a parody of the Conan the Barbarian comics, it evolved into a complex exploration of political and philosophical themes. Throughout its run from 1977 to 2004, Cerebus garnered critical acclaim for arcs like High Society, Church and State, and Jaka’s Story. However, the latter half of the series, along with Dave Sim’s controversial behavior, has somewhat tarnished its reputation in recent years.
But fear not, true believers, for all 300 issues of Cerebus are available on archive.org for those who want to delve into its complex world. And let’s not forget the cherry on top – by purchasing this bundle, you’re not just getting some great comics, you’re also supporting a worthy cause. The Global FoodBanking Network works tirelessly to provide food to those in need and reduce food waste across the globe.
So, if you’re looking for a comic book experience that’s equal parts thought-provoking and aardvark-filled, look no further than the Cerebus bundle on Humble Bundle. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of indie comics history while also making a difference in the world. And who knows, maybe you’ll come out of it with a newfound appreciation for anthropomorphic animals and philosophical musings.
