About the Comic & Condition Notes


Cerebus Bi-Weekly #10 (published in April 1989 by Aardvark-Vanaheim) reprints the complete contents of the original Cerebus the Aardvark #10 (June/July 1979).

This issue is written, illustrated, and lettered entirely by creator Dave Sim. It highlights a lighter, character-driven narrative following the heavy political tone of the prior issue, bringing back one of Cerebus’s earliest female foils.

 

Creative Team

  • Writer / Artist / Letterer / Cover Artist: Dave Sim

Issue Summary: "Sophia Returns...!"

Stripped of his army and his gold, Cerebus is travelling completely alone in a brutal, week-old blizzard as he treks south toward the prominent city-state of Iest.


GRADING NOTES:

  • Very Fine-Near Mint/9.0-9.2
  • Spine: No obvious concerns
  • Edges: No obvious concerns
  • Front Cover: No obvious concerns
  • Corners: No obvious concerns
  • Back Cover: No obvious concerns
  • Staples: Flat, no obvious tearing
  • Interior: Cream/off-white; no tearing

Issue is VF/NM; Cerebus Bi-Weekly was printed on newsprint paper and covers were light - handling and light wear is common. Although the issue is complete and has eye-appeal, I'm uncertain of how strong a pure/NM 9.4 or higher might be. I am erring on VF leaning to NM.

  

About the listing:

Issue is VF-NM

 

The issue is individually bagged and boarded (silver age size), placed with cardboard backer, and secured in a Gemini comic mailer. This is then wrapped in a water/tear proof mailing envelope. I use painters tape to better secure packaging.

About me:

I'm a private collector (not a store); issues are purchased and carefully handled. Upon purchase, I place the issue in a bag/board, typically have read once, and then store in a short/long box. Over time I've decided these should be enjoyed by other readers or collectors. I am not a professional grader, but I have many years' experience in comic grading. I am confident I've been pretty accurate and the grade is fair.
