SIM, Dave

SIM, Dave
(1958-)
   US artist and writer, creator of Cerebus the Aardvark, the abrasive and perverse eponymous star of a satirical COMIC book originally intended as a pastiche of Robert E. HOWARD's Conan the Barbarian, and which has lampooned a number of the leading characters of the HEROIC-FANTASY genre. Published by DS himself, the comic book has becomeso popular that Cerebus \#1 (Dec 1977) is reputed now to be worth several hundred times its original $1 cover price. Much of the series is available in reprint assemblage, beginning with Cerebus (graph coll 1987). DS's early style was heavily influenced by Barry Windsor-Smith. The comic book features characters such as Elrod of Melvinbone, Bran Mak Mufin and Wolveroach. DS's stated ambition is to complete the projected 6000pp ofCerebus the Aardvark in AD2004.
