CEREBUS THE AARDVARK ORIGINAL SERIES: MASSIVE 23-ISSUE RUN (1981-1987) AUTHENTIC FIRST PRINTINGS — MAINLY COLLECTING THE CHURCH & STATE II & JAKA'S STORY ERAS 23-issue collection of the original Cerebus the Aardvark series, tracking Dave Sim’s absolute creative peak through the mid-1980s. This lot acts as an incredible bridge across the foundational eras of the title, heavily featuring chunks from Church & State II (including the legendary Mass with Substance and This Flame, This Carrot segments) and bleeding directly into the deeply emotional, character-driven masterwork Jaka's Story. These are the true, original black-and-white first editions—complete with the highly vintage 1980s letter columns and independent trade advertising sections that were omitted from later collections.
