Publisher's Synopsis

Before he rose to fame as the author of best-selling graphic novels such as Ghost World (Jonathan Cape, 1997), Daniel Clowes made his name with the comic book series Eightball. The series ran from 1989 to 1997 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential ever produced. Now, for the 25th anniversary of its publication, Fantagraphics collects all 18 issues of Eightball into two gorgeous hardback slipcased volumes, reproducing each issue as a facsimile of how they were originally published.

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.
