Nick Calm, Agent of C.O.D.P.I.E.C.E. #1

In "Cash-on-Delivery in Every Canadian Expresspost?," Cerebus, the ever-determined agent of C.O.D.P.I.E.C.E., navigates a world where the acronym's meaning is as layered as the political climate itself. With the Whore of Babylon offering a cryptic origin for her name and Cerebus grappling with the 32nd gender pronoun, the issue unfolds through sharp, surreal visuals by Gustave Doré and Dave Sim, their inks lending a stark, timeless quality to the story's biting commentary on modern discourse. The cover, a striking collaboration by Doré and Sim, captures the issue's blend of absurdity and gravity.
