"He came to our city in the early dawn... Though later he would be called the finest warrior to enter our gates, at the time, he was but a curiosity... You see, he stood only five hands high, had a lengthy snout, a long tail and was covered with short grey fur... He was, in short.............CEREBUS THE AARDVARK."

Cerebus is, as some of you know, an Aardvark. Over the years, the author, Dave Sim, has let us follow this odd creature through his adventures as a barbarian, mercenary, drunk, Prime Minister and even, Pope. Cerebus is a man, excuse me, an Aardvark, of big ambitions. His ambitions involve grabbing as much gold as possible.He does well. Cerebus is a morally ambiguous character, at times sympathetic, at others callous. He is often foul-mouthed and uncouth, has a vicious temper, and loves getting drunk. Cerebus is a warrior by heart, his favorite weapon is his sword. His most unusual weapon: the dreaded pig snout punch.

Cerebus the Aardvark (or simply Cerebus) is an independent comic book, written and illustrated by Canadian artist Dave Sim, with backgrounds by fellow Canadian Gerhard. Now complete, it marks the longest-running English-language comic book series ever by a single creative team and one of the longest works of fiction in literature. Sim began the series in 1977, running for 300 issues and 6,000 pages, through March 2004.

'Brrrl, brrrl, brrrl!' a pumpkin is about to undergo a vampiric transformation. I can hear an army of Zombie chickens approaching!

The creature, called Swamp Thing, was originally conceived as Alec Holland mutating into a vegetable-like creature, a "muck-encrusted mockery of a man". However, under writer Alan Moore, Swamp Thing was reinvented as an elemental entity created upon the death of Alec Holland, with Holland's memory and personality intact. He is described as "a plant that thought it was Alec Holland, a plant that was trying its level best to be Alec Holland."
