French site with retrospective on Cerebus by the late Video Game Producer and Novelist Thierry Gagnon who passed away less than a year ago. From the article (thank you google translate):
"Long before the advent of Image Comics, Sim's business acumen and fiercely independent demeanor made him one of the most successful writers in the 1980s comic book world. Almost 10 years before SANDMAN arrived and VERTIGO, Dave Sim was able to create a unique and highly literary universe while the dominance of superheroes was still undisputed. Like SANDMAN, CEREBUS had successfully developed a large female readership, unlike the rest of the industry"

"CEREBUS marked the 80s as much by its abundant creativity as by its business model. In particular, before the publication of WATCHMEN and BATMAN: DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, Sim revolutionized the industry with its adoption of the "graphic novel" format for its reissues, which was still unpublished at the time (except for the seminal "UN PACTE WITH GOD ”by Will Eisner)."
"Thanks to the popularity of the series, their productivity, and bold business decisions, Dave and Gerhart were able to maintain a luxurious lifestyle, lining up tours around the world and many well-drunk and good company parties."

"The CEREBUS series combines elements from the fantastic universes of Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcork, the Marx brothers and superhero comics, all in a hybrid universe between heroic-fantasy and the Victorian era."

Andrew Riley completes his Cerebus review series - from the review:

People are always asking: What is the meaning of life? What does it all mean? Why are we here? Hey, right. Okay. So Cerebus gives it to them, see. Here. This is the meaning of life. This is what it all means. This is why we’re here. And what’s their reaction? “You mean I have to read all THIS?”

Cerebus says this.

Right after I started to skip.

Prophets tell us what is going on in the world. People don’t listen to them. Dave Sim has tricked me into exemplifying a universal truth.
