Hive account@cutthruyou The easiest way to get into Cerebus is to read the big collected editions that they call "phone books". They're not that hard to get your hands on, Vol. 1 can be had for $18 at Amazon and contains the 1st 25 issues.

The art improves drastically from #1 to #25, with Sim really hitting his stride.
Also, keep in mind that the 1st volume has a lot of humor/parody of Conan and then superhero comics. It is volume 2 "High Society" where the series really hits its stride and becomes the book that people talk about reverently to this day.
