I recently bought a used copy of Swords of Cerebus # 3 at a convention, even though I have the phone books, and was marvelling at how the style develops just from issue # 9 to # 11. <br /><br />In these "rough" early pages, there is still such remarkable stuff going on - the exploration with the different font/lettering, the use of silhouettes with those savages on the frozen slopes there, the ambition involved in the scene with Cerebus in that hall of mirrors. The depiction of Red Sonja there shows that Dave was still working some things out, but the ideas and the ambition are already rolling.

Has any comic book creator ever come so far? Barry Windsor-Smith comes to mind and P. Craig Russell, but most artists start out ok, rise in talent and ability and then just settle in on a style. Sim (and Gerhard's) growth on Cerebus is a mind blowing thing to see. Intimidating and inspirational.Birdsonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829558355806670311noreply@blogger.com
