I plan to read the series eventually someday. It’s ironic how underrated it is.
Please do excuse me for saying this, but if you liked this series, I STRONGLY recommend reading Usagi Yojimbo, if you haven’t already.
I don’t think Cerebus and Usagi Yojimbo have too much in common, other than the fact that they feature anthropomorphic animals and are (or were, in Cerebus’ case) long-running creator-owned comics.
