20th Century Eightball
20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988
and 1996. Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international
superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was
already the most talked-about series of the 1990s. Renowned for its gleefully incisive social satire and
riotous absurdity, Entertainment Weekly proclaimed it "the year's best regularly published comic book"
upon its debut in 1989. The Village Voice proclaimed it "brilliant," and Art Spiegelman called it "curdlingly
good." Simpsons creator Matt Groening has repeatedly called it his favorite comic book.

Eightball: Pussey! (New Printing)
Written and drawn by Dan Clowes
A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art returns! New edition, cover and intro by Clowes!
This hilarious classic from Dan Clowes is a brutal and scathing peek into the insular, pathetic world of
the comic book industry, as seen through the eyes of antihero Dan Pussey (pronounced "Pooh-say"),
creator of the smash superhero comic “Nauseator.” From cradle to grave, Clowes presents the complete
saga of Young Dan Pussey, mercilessly skewering the business and medium of comics, bouncing from
art to commerce to culture high and low. Clowes not only parodies the superhero genre (notably Stan
"The Man" Lee), but also his own peers, from his publishers and fellow authors at Fantagraphics to
artistic heavyweights like Art Spiegelman (seen here as "Gummo Bubbleman"). Through it all, Pussey
dreams endlessly about having sex with a woman, but even those fantasies degenerate into superhero
scenarios. If you think Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons is pathetic (and hilarious), wait 'til you read
Pussey! Black and White, 7 1/4" x 11" Format. 64 PGS.
