DescriptionCerebus the Aardvark #151 Cover (October 1991)by Gerhard (1959- ) 11 x 17 in., ink and watercolor on board This is perhaps my favorite cover from the series. I think it does such a great job at telling its story, and conveying action, with its characters (well, other than the flying book) all implied. This cover was not, however, the favorite of its creator. In the 2016 IDW “Cover Treasury” book, Gerhard writes: “I spent a lot of time working out the composition and perspective of this piece, but I could not get the color right. It was too orange, not the mahogany hue that I wanted, but there was nothing I could do to fix it. I hated it so much that when I hung the cover on its clip, I hung it face toward the wall.” Dave’s response is cute: “In those situations you take the hint and just hope it’s still on its hook, face to the wall, when you come in tomorrow. It’s HIS cover.” A hi-res image of this cover, suitable for printing is available for no cost and no obligation (see the additional image for details) along with the “Take On Me” story, by Gerhard and Carson Grubaugh, as described elsewhere.
