Guys (comics)

Guys is the seventh novel in Canadian cartoon artist Dave Sim's Cerebus comic book series.

The book marks a return to a lighter and more humorous style, and takes place in a males-only bar.

[1] The tavern he is placed in is located by the Wall of T'si, with a host of Cerebus regulars, including Bear, Boobah and Mick & Keef; visits from the Margaret Thatcher caricature from Jaka's Story; and new characters, such as bartenders Richard George and Harrison Starkey (based on members of the Beatles), and caricatures of Norman Mailer and Marty Feldman's Igor from the film Young Frankenstein.

[2] Much of the story revolves around Cerebus' relation to Bear, who is seen as having achieved a certain level of manhood and contentment.

[3] The first printing was a limited edition signed (by both Dave Sim and Gerhard) and numbered (out of 1500) on the inside title page.
