Remastered Edition
Volume 4 - 2nd and later printings. "Church & State: Volume II!" Collects Cerebus (1977-2004) #81-111.
Story and art by Dave Sim.
The multi-year Cerebus Restoration project continues with CHURCH & STATEII! This edition will be signed-and-numbered by writer/cartoonist Dave Sim (limited to the amount of copies of the initial Diamond order).
C & S II, the fourth volume of the 6,000 page CEREBUS epic, is a book bubbling over with conflict, with borrowed characters and quasi-legal parodies--including a scorching red-hot take on Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns--each synthesized and absorbed into the whole. All of this in the midst of a plot dense with revelation, with changing allegiances and scale shifts that threaten to upend the titular character and even his world. In an industry now filled with "cosmic" plot-lines that last a few months before the status quo reasserts itself, C + S II is the real deal--a dangerous comic, where the various actors behave like real people, beholden only to their own self-conceptions--impulsive, unpredictable, but always real and authentic and grounded.
CHURCH & STATE II is arguably an early artistic peak for the book, as Sim and background artist Gerhard drove themselves to relentless experimentation, using each monthly installment to push the boundaries of what the monthly comics form was truly capable. This art is presented here for the first time in remastered form: painstakingly restored page-by-page from hundreds of pages of original artwork with the original photo negatives filling in the gaps, revealing astounding detail never before present outside of the original art itself. The carefully-textured, detail-rich art is now on full display for the first time, including delicate line work, slashing brush lines alongside organic texture and splatter, and some of the most sophisticated pen and ink rendering of the second half of the twentieth century.
This volume also includes eight brand-new pages of extras, including a 6,000 word essay by restorer and critic Sean Michael Robinson, that contextualizes the wild scale-shifts of Church & State among other resonant works, including but not limited to, Tolstoy's War and Peace and Shooter and Zeck's Secret Wars. (Yes, this is the only solicitation in Diamond history, possibly the only sentence in the English language as of yet, to invoke those titles simultaneously.)
Softcover, 7 1/2-in. x10-in., 620 pages, B&W.

Special Will Eisner Tribute Issue is a giant-size 56 pager! Eisner's influence on the comic book industry as a whole is well known, but he was also a huge influence on Cerebus. This issue contains a piece by Dave Sim on meeting with Eisner in 2004; a 1984 Eisner/Sim/Archie Goodwin panel discussion on storytelling; the Eisner/Sim Cerebus Jam story (including uninked pencilled pages!) featuring Cerebus and the Spirit; a look at how Eisner influenced the creation of Frank Miller's original Elektra story; mini-reviews of all of Eisner's graphic novels; plus Sim's always-interesting "About Last Issue" and "Favorite Buffy Pic of This Month"! New Sim/Gerhard cover is the first in a series of "Wouldn't It Have Been Great if Gerhard Had Worked on Cerebus From the Beginning" (this one based on a panel from Cerebus 11). Cover price $3.95.
