Publisher's Synopsis

While exploring the adventures of 'Ghost World', Dan Clowes created a cycle of dramatic, funny and touching short stories, including 'Caricature' (an undisputed modern classic about a travelling caricaturist), the semi-autobiographical 'Blue Italian Shit' and 'Immortal, Invisible', the wry super-hero take-off 'Black Nylon', as well as the colour 'The Gold Mommy' and 'Green Eyeliner', which originally ran in Esquire. Having sold out in hardcover last year, the success of 'Ghost World' has made this paperback reprint, with a new cover by Clowes, the most in-demand of the year.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
