WordPress is misbehaving, and I’ve got spring fever. So no real post today.
To fill the void, check out this in-depth appreciation of Cerebus, which Mr Deppey linked to today. Go read parts 2-7 at least, which discuss the often brilliant covers by Sim and Gerhard. With all the (justified) hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing about Sim’s writing and general crackpottery, it’s easy to forget what a talented visual artist he is.
When will Sim release a collection of covers? Most of them aren’t reprinted in the other “phonebooks”, so many of Cerebus‘ readers have never seen them. Surely a collection of covers would sell better than the quixotic collections of letters and diatribes he has been printing since Cerebus finished.
In the meantime, there’s always this.

There was talk of a collection of some of the more popular covers and the colored Cerebus stories:

But interested waned and it is now on the back burner.
I personally would still love to see the “phonebook” of colored Cerebus stories and covers – it could be done in a hardcover like the New X-Men Omnibus for a decent price.
