Cerebus Volume 3 Church & State Part One GN Dave Sim Gerhard Aardvark TPB NM

Thirty years ago, the idea that a genocidal, absolutist "fire and brimstone" faith-based ideology could actually steamroll its way across national borders, financing itself by looting its own citizenry was considered too far-fetched "even for comic books" so that it could only be addressed in the broad confines of the Ultimate Parody Comic, Dave Sim & Gerhard's Cerebus. Says Dave Sim: "Sean Robinson and Mara Sedlins of Living the Line continue their astonishing restoration of the World's Longest Graphic Novel with Church & State I, arguably the most challenging of the 16 books to reproduce accurately, because a good 60 to 80 pages consist of Gerhard drawing for reproduction for the first time, learning what works and what doesn't work. Sean and Mara make it ALL work, bringing out levels of detail never seen before."
