Description
Wraparound/front-and-back cover for the 2021 Regency hardcover book edition of Cerebus High Society. Publisher: Waverly Press.
Comment
This drawing shows the Regency in all its splendor and grandiosity - and Cerebus entering with his sack of gold and without any idea of the consequences this visit would have.
The piece was originally commissioned by a fan and collector as a riff on the cover Gerhard and Dave Sim drew for the phonebook collected edition of the High Society story. Gerhard apparently adjusted a few things he wasn´ t quite satisfied with in the original cover. Waverly Press used the drawing as the wraparound cover for the luxury hardcover book edition of High Society in 2021.

About Gerhard
Gerhard was born on April 14, 1959 in Edmonton, and started his association with Dave Sim's Cerebus with issue #65 (August 1984), and continued through its conclusion with #300 in March, 2004. The series was written by Dave Sim, who also drew the foreground figures, and had worked on the self-published series largely solo for the first 64 issues. Gerhard jokingly described his job saying that he "draws tables and chairs behind an aardvark".[citation needed] He is also fond of photography (some later issues of the comic book have covers based on his scenic photos) and sailing.[citation needed]
Effective December 31, 2006, approximately three years after finishing his work on Cerebus, Gerhard ended his professional and personal relationship with Dave Sim. Subsequently, Dave Sim has been in the process of purchasing Gerhard's share of Aardvark-Vanaheim.[1]
Although most associated with Cerebus, Gerhard has produced works for other publications, although mostly with Sim
