1998 Ignatz Award Winner, Outstanding Graphic Novel: The inspiration for the feature film and one of the most acclaimed graphic novels ever.

Ghost World has become a cultural and generational touchstone, and continues to enthrall and inspire readers over a decade after its original release as a graphic novel. Originally serialized in the pages of the seminal comic book Eightball throughout the mid-1990s, this quasi-autobiographical story (the name of one of the protagonists is famously an anagram of the author's name) follows the adventures of two teenage girls, Enid and Becky, two best friends facing the prospect of growing up, and more importantly, apart. Daniel Clowes is one of the most respected cartoonists of his generation, and Ghost World is his magnum opus. Adapted into a major motion picture directed by Terry Zwigoff (director of the acclaimed documentary Crumb), which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. This graphic novel is a must for any self-respecting comics fan's library. Two-color comics throughout.

Daniel Clowes, Ghost World, Patience, Original Art, Caricature, Eightball, Fantagraphics

Daniel Clowes began his career as an “alternative” cartoonist in 1985 with the short-lived comic book series Lloyd Llewellyn. In 1989, he created the seminal comic book series, Eightball. The first among many stories to gain notice were the darkly comic Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron and his savage take on the comics industry, Pussey!. These were followed in the mid-'90s by the breakthrough hit Ghost World, the dark, complex magnum opus, David Boring, and an acclaimed short story collection, Caricature. The film adaptation of Ghost World was released to wide acclaim, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Clowes's work has appeared in The New Yorker, Time, Newsweek and many other magazines and he is the winner of multiple Harvey, Eisner and Ignatz Awards as well as the PEN Literary Award for Graphic Literature in 2011. His most recent graphic novel, the time travel thriller Patience, and his current deluxe Studio Edition collection, Original Art: Daniel Clowes, are available from Fantagraphics.

We based our evaluation of book condition on the following criteria:

New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unread copy in perfect condition.

Like New: An apparently unread copy in perfect condition. Dust cover is intact; pages are clean and are not marred by notes or folds of any kind.

 * Very Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in excellent condition. Pages are intact and are not marred by notes or highlighting, but may contain a neat previous owner name. The spine remains undamaged.

 * Good: A copy that has been read, but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact. The spine may show signs of wear. Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions.

 * Acceptable: A readable copy. All pages are intact, and the cover is intact (the dust cover may be missing). Pages can include considerable notes--in pen or highlighter--but the notes cannot obscure the text.
