The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Sim rose to prominence with Cerebus, which began in December 1977.
- Sim initially conceived it as a parody of Conan the Barbarian and other sword and sorcery comics, but after two years he began to consider the series a self-contained work that would run for 300 issues and be subdivided into novels.
- By the time the 6000-page work was completed in March 2004, Sim had delved into politics, and an examination of feminism and gender, while becoming progressively more sophisticated and experimental in his storytelling and artwork.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Dave Sim article was read about 42,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 63: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
