Dave Sim has, lately, taken his extremely regarded 300-issue Cerebus graphic novel and remodeled it into the ridiculed-then-mostly-ignored Cerebus In Hell. A sequence of one-shot cut-and-paste strips utilizing his personal work and that of Gustave Dove, alongside the likes of Benjamin Hobbs, Sean Michael Robinson and David Birdsong railing towards and mocking what he sees as society’s and comedian books’ ethical deficiencies, with a sequence of Cerebus In Hell comics. And with every one-shot, tries to parody some facet of comics and comics historical past in its cowl and title, hoping to get some confused gross sales alongside the way in which together with a brand new situation primary.
Colonel Walter Kurtz was performed by Marlon Brando within the Francis Ford Coppola movie Apocalypse Now in 1979, impressed by Joseph Conrad’s nineteenth-century novel Coronary heart Of Darkness. And, wanting like Mickey Mouse, is the main focus of Dave Sim‘s Cerebus In Hell parody from Aardvark-Vanaheim in August 2022. But it surely’s not only a 43-year reference within the body, it is also Harvey Kurtzman‘s Two-Fisted Tales, an anthology battle comedian revealed by EC Comics from 1950 to 1955, in order that’s a 72-year-old reference, in addition to Nickey Mouse in Steamboat Willie from 1928. No marvel Dave Sim is apprehensive nobody will get the references.
