Description

"This cover was effective, but it was a lot of work and I�m not sure it was worth all the extra effort."
Gerhard in the IDW book Cerebus Cover Art Treasury, p.215.
"You could accurately say that about all 300 issues and all 6000 pages."
Dave Sim, ibid.
This is actually Dave Sim�s favorite Cerebus cover. He says so in the podcast "Please hold for Dave Sim" October 2024.

Really incredible with all that Gerhard work and the courage to paint over it for a stunning effect of texture and realism.

Holy crap, the details! I got lost just staring at tiny subsections of this piece. I would say it was totally worth the effort, though I can't imagine how long it must have taken! Congrats!

I remember picking this issue up off the stands and being blown away by it (such amazing artistry; such an unorthodox choice of cover image), and seeing it here again (in "hi def", as it were) brings all those feelings roaring back. Incredible image, SO beautifully realized! Mega-congrats, Oystein - what a great pick up!
