Issue Summary

Cerebus lands in the magical dimension from the "Magiking" short story. The wizard from that story and Henrot have a discussion. Thrunk demands that a gold throne be built for him. Astoria is released from prison, she and Lord Julius talk over old times. Another false Tarim shows up, this one being an amalgam of the Woman Thing (Ethel), Sump Thing (Fred), and the Artist-chap. Cerebus' snout grows long again, and then he's swallowed up by the strange light yet again.

"Ah, Gainsville, Florida. Home of the Gator Bowl, Tom Petty, WRUF 104, and not much else. We brought a couple of drawing boards New Years Eve and I began drawing page one January 1, and this is the last thing I have to do in [this issue, January 14. Tomorrow I have a day off and then I jump back in on #83. Gerhards in room 1107 (I'm in 1108) working on pages 15 and 16."
