High Society is the second collected volume, and first volume-length story, of Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim's Cerebus comic book series.

It focuses mainly on politics, including Cerebus's campaign for the office of Prime Minister, in the fictional city-state of Iest in Sim's world of Estarcion.

It is generally considered the best book for beginning Cerebus readers to start reading,[1] and has been called "one of the finest storylines of the 1980s".

Cerebus arrives in the city-state of Iest, where he checks into the high-class Regency Hotel (whose design was based on the Chateau Laurier) and becomes embroiled in political machinations as the Chief Kitchen Supervisor to Lord Julius.

[8] Cerebus sets out with Astoria and the Roach (this time in a caricature of Sergeant Preston of the Mounties to find Lord Storm'send in snowy Northbell to secure the last vote.

Sensing opportunity, several military forces from surrounding regions - notably, the Sepran Empire - begin campaigns to capture the city-state.

At the very end, he finds the Albatross Statue that eluded so many people for so long; with it, he could have united the church himself and ruled Estarcion.

This edition was printed on white paper, with images re-scanned and digitally "cleaned up" using current technology, ISBN 0-919359-07-8, UPC 9 780919 359079 53000, originally priced at US$30.

During this time, Sim set up a dedicated 800 number and announced in Cerebus #86 (May 1986) that he would put out the first printing of the High Society "phone book" through mail order.

[14] The book sold out in less than a year,[14] and grossed $150,000, which made DC's offer seem "kind of puny by comparison", according to Sim.

As a result, in 1987 Diamond Comic Distributors chose to drop Puma Blues, which was being published by Sim's Aardvark One International.
