Cerebus #257 – “Going Home” #26 (Aardvark-Vanaheim, Aug 2000)

Part of Dave Sim’s epic Going Home storyline, this issue captures a reflective and transitional chapter in the saga of Cerebus the Aardvark. Blending Sim’s signature mix of satirical commentary, introspection, and deeply human storytelling, the arc explores themes of journey, change, and the inevitable pull of the past. The striking photographic cover sets a contemplative tone before the first page is even turned.
