This is a superb collection of interviews with one of the world's most significant cartoonists and the critically acclaimed writer of "Ghost World". Daniel Clowes (b. 1961) emerged from the 'alternative comics' boom of the 1980s as one of the most significant cartoonists and most distinctive voices in the development of the graphic novel. His serialized "Eightball" comics, collected in such books as "David Boring", "Ice Haven", and "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron", helped to set the standards of sophistication and complexity for the medium. The screenplay for "Ghost World", which Clowes co-adapted (with Terry Zwigoff) from his graphic novel of the same name, was nominated for an Academy Award. Since his early, edgy Lloyd Liewellyn and Eightball comics, Clowes has developed along with the medium, from a satirical and sometimes vituperative surrealist to an unmatched observer of psychological and social subtleties. In this collection of interviews reaching from 1988 to 2009, the cartoonist discusses his earliest experiences reading superhero comics, his time at the Pratt Institute, his groundbreaking career, his screenplays for "Ghost World" and "Art School Confidential", and his technical approach to layouts, drawing, inking, lettering, and colouring.
