Dave Sim has, in recent years, taken his highly regarded 300-issue Cerebus graphic novel and transformed it into the ridiculed-then-mostly-ignored Cerebus In Hell. A series of one-shot cut-and-paste strips using his own work and that of Gustave Doré, alongside Benjamin Hobbs, railing against and mocking what he sees as society's and comic books' moral deficiencies, with a series of Cerebus In Hell comics. And with each one-shot, tries to parody some aspect of comics and comics history in its cover and name, hoping to get some confused sales along the way along with a new issue number one. This time it is with Frank Miller's Daredevil. Take a look at June's Giant Size Public Defenders #1 solicitations, including Varkdevil… and Satan taking the role of Elektra. I'm surprised Dave didn't substitute the Whore Of Babylon instead, that would seem more his thing…

Meet Fred Murdock – Cerebus in really dark sunglasses – the wildly successful lawyer in charge of Murdock and Associates. If you can pay his outrageous fees, justice can be yours! Actually, we should probably lead with: Frank Miller riffs out the whazoo! Zero chance of Frank doing Daredevil again, right? So this double-sized issue – forty years after-the-fact – is really the best you can hope for (sad to say). Special Varkdevil variant cover also available to order!In Shops: Jun 29, 2022
SRP: $8.00

And here are the covers that they are riffing off… Daredevil #179 by Frank Miller, and Giant-Size Defenders #1 by Frank Giacoia, John Romita Sr. and Dan Crespi.
