Description
Cover for Swords of Cerebus 6
Comment
Gerhard has just joined the party, and it shows. Maybe not the best Cerebus cover ever, but certainly a serious candidate for the Most Lovely?
This cover, depicting Cerebus nursed by three students in a particular girlschool, was not only used for Swords of Cerebus 6. The trade paperback was to reprint the stories in Cerebus 21-25. Due to a misunderstanding, the first edition missed the story in Cerebus 25. Dave and Deni Sim decided to publish a separate supplement with the missing story. So this cover art can also be found on Supplement to Swords of Cerebus 6.

About Dave Sim
David Victor Sim (born 17 May 1956) is a Canadian cartoonist and publisher, best known for his comic book Cerebus, his artistic experimentation, his advocacy of self-publishing and creator's rights, and his controversial political, philosophical and religious beliefs.
Sim dropped out of high school to pursue a career in comics, and rose to prominence after he began Cerebus in December 1977. Initially, Cerebus was a parody of Conan the Barbarian and other sword and sorcery comics, but after two years Sim came to conceive of the series as a self-complete work, which would run for 300 issues and be subdivided into "novels". By the time the 6000-page work was completed in March 2004, Sim had delved into politics, theology, metaphysics, and a controversial examination of feminism and gender issues, while becoming progressively more sophisticated and experimental in his storytelling and artwork.
