High Society (Cerebus, Volume 2)
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-09-03 Summary: Graphic SF Reader ... There is a lot of parody in Cerebus, of Elric, of Batman, etc. In High Society, Sim starts to write longer continuous stories that a little bit deeper. Cerebus is a barbarian, and the movers and shakers around him are looking to exploit that as he enters their high society circle.

I first became aware of Sim for the work he did with funny animals, beavers ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Review | Volume two of the Cerebus the Aardvark series, High Society , is the beginning of the main Cerebus story line and one of the finest graphic novels ever published. If you have to start from the very beginning, you'll need the first volume, Cerebus , but if you don't mind a modicum of confusion, this is a much more satisfying place to begin. The artwork is much improved and the level of humor reaches its high point in the series to date. (Unkind critics point to High Society as the older, funnier book...more
