12-issue reading run of Cerebus Bi-Weekly (#1 through #12), published between December 1988 and September 1989.
This specific series is highly prized by purists because it replicates the earliest, rarest issues of Cerebus the Aardvark in their complete, absolute entirety—reproducing the original black-and-white art, retro editorial essays, and historical letters pages exactly as they originally hit shelves in the late 1970s. It also features bonus one-page guest strips from iconic independent creators.
Condition & Grading Report (Honest Reader Stack)
- Overall Grade: Offered strictly as a Reader Lot / Mid-Grade collection. These comics have been loved and read, rather than kept locked in a vault.
- Covers & Spines: The covers display normal, honest signs of handling. Expect typical surface scuffing, minor edge wear, blunt corner tips, and light spine stress ticks/wrinkles around the staples. No heavy water damage or detached covers. All staples hold securely.
- Interior Pages: The internal text blocks are 100% complete and fully readable. The paper displays natural, uniform age-toning/browning appropriate for late 1980s newsprint stock. The pages are free from heavy tearing, missing coupons, or modern biro scribbles.
