Checklist: Original Appearances

• The Aardvarkian Age: by Michael Loubert (Dave's Ex-wife's brother). I can only find four installments of this column: issues #16, 17, 19 and 20. Issue #18 has a map of Palnu. A one page column that goes into detail about various things in Cerebus. Very insightful. These were only reprinted in the Cerebus Bi-Weeklys as far as I know.

• Anything Goes #3: Cerebus cover by Neal Adams. A short 3 page story of Cerebus breaking up with Michelle (the first one, not the countess) in "Breaking Up is Hard to Do."
• The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom: featured a single full page of the Silverspoon comics. early 1980's. Sim does a bi-weekly strip called "Silverspoon" in which Cerebus appears. The first appearances of Lord Julius and his son. Sets the stage for Cerebus #14-16, the Palnu Trilogy. Later reprinted.
