Indy comics has always been my home. I wanted to get into Cerebus but the task has always seemed too monumental. With the originals, reprints, & bi-monthly titles, it was intimidating just to determine where to start. I think one day ill pick up my sock & get on this title. Good luck on issue 3!

Cerebus #2... one more issue to go!
@cutthruyou The easiest way to get into Cerebus is to read the big collected editions that they call "phone books". They're not that hard to get your hands on, Vol. 1 can be had for $18 at Amazon and contains the 1st 25 issues.

The art improves drastically from #1 to #25, with Sim really hitting his stride.
Also, keep in mind that the 1st volume has a lot of humor/parody of Conan and then superhero comics. It is volume 2 "High Society" where the series really hits its stride and becomes the book that people talk about reverently to this day.

I started with a TPB of "guys" It had a lot of charm and was petty far into the series where they really had the art and weird expressive handwritten fonts working together.
