20th Century Eightball by Daniel Clowes
20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from>Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips/rants as I Hate You Deeply, Sexual Frustration, Ugly Girls, Why I Hate Christians, Message to the People of the Future, Paranoid, My Suicide, Chicago, and over three dozen more. Other favorites include Art School Confidential, one of Clowes' most popular strips of all-time: made into a motion picture with a screenplay by>Ghost World's Clowes and Terry Zwigoff. Also included is Clowes' hilariously Freudian deconstruction of professional athletes, On Sports, which caused a stir in San Antonio last year when reprinted in the city's most popular weekly paper, prompting an advertising boycott and demands for the paper to be destroyed by local sports fans. Noted comics historian Roger Sabin, author of Phaidon's>Comics, Comix and Graphic Novels, calls>20th Century Eightball a corrosively satirical vision of an America cracking apart, and confirms Clowes as a worthy successor to the underground greats of the 1960s.| SKU | Unavailable |
