Batvark: A Poet in the Family

Dave Sim’s Batvark: A Poet in the Family (2022–present, Aardvark-Vanaheim) is a single-issue comic that blends the creator’s signature anthropomorphic style with a lyrical, introspective narrative. Written and drawn entirely by Sim, it explores themes of family and artistic legacy through the lens of a poet protagonist. As a standalone work from the mind behind Cerebus, it offers a compact, character-driven glimpse into Sim’s evolving storytelling.
