This is a collection of two stories that appeared outside of the actual Cerebus series. The first tale has Cerebus being summoned by a wizard who wants him to battle evil. The second has Cerebus meeting the spoiled young Silverspoon. They get ship wrecked on an island and captured by the natives. The boys father Lord Julius arrives and saves the day. He offers Cerebus free passage and a reward in Palnu.
This book features the first appearances of Lord Julius and his son Silverspoon. Lord Julius is of course a huge character in the first third of the Cerebus story. Silverspoon is a very minor character in the grand scheme of things.
This wasn't in my copy of the Cerebus phonebook when I originally read Cerebus so this story was new to me. It was an okay little side story that was told in parts. A very different narration style for the Silverspoon story but it had some humor in it.
I actually read issue 14 before this and then realized this existed during some side reading. Ii decided to post this first to keep things chronological. This wasn't super important to the overall narration but it did provide a little context to issue 14.
Until next time!
