Cerebus.
No matter what you think of Cerebus, its 300-issue run is certainly an achievement…though creator Dave Sim encouraged some small amount of consternation with his attitudes on gender relations (among other things), it’s hard to ignore his commitment to telling the life of his lead character for the last quarter of a century. Sim gives his goodbyes to his life’s project here. (His regards to Jeff Smith did strike me as a little odd…wasn’t Dave challenging Jeff to a fight at one point?)
Other good Cerebus links and info can be found at the Cerebus Fangirl site…one of my favorites is this one, providing early fan-produced radio show adaptations of the first six issues.
