Elf

Emerging from the fertile, boundary-pushing world of Dave Sim's Cerebus in 1990, Elf is a compact but memorable presence in one of indie comics' most celebrated long-form sagas. Debuting in Cerebus: High Society #5 from Aardvark-Vanaheim, this character inhabits the same richly satirical pages as Cerebus himself, Astoria, Moon Roach, and Artemis Strong — a genuinely eclectic ensemble that signals just how inventive Sim's universe could be. With appearances spanning both High Society and Church & State, Elf touches two of the most critically discussed chapters of the Cerebus epic. Five catalog appearances make this a rare find for the dedicated Sim completist who wants every corner of that extraordinary world explored.
