''Latter Days'' is the tenth and final novel in Canadian cartoonist Dave Sim's ''Cerebus'' comic book series. It is made up of issues #266-300 of ''Cerebus''. It was collected as the 15th and 16th "phonebook" volumes, as ''Latter Days'' (#266-288, November 2003) and ''The Last Day'' (#289-300, June 2004). The novel concludes Cerebus life, as Sim had long announced it would, and is generally considered the most difficult and problematic of the ''Cerebus'' novels.〔〔 Narrated by Cerebus from sometime later in his life, ''Latter Days'' is heavy in religious themes, and also features caricatures of the Three Stooges and Woody Allen.〔 ==Background== Sim had declared early on that ''Cerebus'' would chronicle the life leading up to death of its titular character. The Judge at the end of ''Church & State'' had foretold that Cerebus would "die alone, unmourned and unloved".〔 The main ''Cerebus'' story came to an end with issue #200;〔 the final 100 issues served as a dénouement, with ''Latter Days'' an "epilogue-to-the-epilogue".〔 At the end of ''Going Home'', Cerebus comes to reject Jaka, the woman he has loved almost since the beginning of the series and with whom he has been travelling to his childhood home.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latter Days (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
