Dave Sim Reigns it In With "Iron Manticore" #1 And Welcomes Todd McFarlane to the "300 Club"

For the first time in months. Dave Sim has managed not to rag on women, on gays, on gays and women in his solicitations for his Cerebus In Hell one-shots. This time it's all about alcoholism, college sports and pop-tarts. And continuing to repurpose the work of Dante's Inferno illustrator Gustave Dore with this cover by Benjamin Hobbs. Which, as well as parodying the classic Iron Man storyline Demon In A Bottle, also recognises that fellow Canuck Todd McFarlane will be publishing his 300th issue of Spawn in August.
