☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects a sequence of issues from Dave Sim's landmark independent series, focusing on the ongoing political and personal conflicts of the titular aardvark. It features key appearances by Lord Julius Tavers, a recurring figure in the complex world of Cerebus, as the story continues its satirical and dramatic trajectory. The collection is part of the Swords of Cerebus series, which reprints the original comic issues in a larger format with additional commentary and art by Sim.
"Magiking" in Swords of Cerebus #4 (1982) gathers early Cerebus tales reprinted from the Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom and Cerebus issues #14–16, offering a sharp, self-contained glimpse into the character’s formative adventures. Written by Dave Sim and illustrated in full by him on both interior and cover, the issue presents these foundational stories with a distinct, hand-drawn energy that captures the raw spirit of early indie comics.
"Introductions" offers a brief, typeset overview that sets the stage for four earlier Cerebus tales reprinted in Swords of Cerebus #4, including "Silverspoon," "The Walls of Palnu," "A Day in the Pits," and "A Night at the Masque," each drawing readers into the evolving world of the series through a concise, editorial framing.
