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.
