Paciencia marca el regreso del autor más influyente de las últimas décadas, tras más de cinco años de silencio. Este multipremiado creador presenta su obra más extensa y ambiciosa, un thriller de ciencia ficción que, por primera vez, refleja un optimismo y benevolencia hacia sus semejantes, abriendo una puerta a la esperanza. Las 180 páginas de Paciencia contienen uno de los relatos más complejos y emocionantes que ha creado, destilando los elementos característicos que lo han consagrado en el cómic independiente contemporáneo. La obra combina la revisión de la angustia adolescente y los ritos de paso de Ghost World con la complejidad de David Boring, retratando con precisión el alma de sus torturados personajes y logrando resonancias clásicas. Clowes se enfoca en los pequeños detalles de las personalidades, buscando respuestas a grandes preguntas, a veces de manera violenta. Sin embargo, Paciencia es significativamente distinta, presentando un relato emocionante en el que el autor se muestra menos reflexivo y más vehemente, llevando al lector en un frenético viaje a través del tiempo con tintes pulp. Este libro es una mezcla utópica de géneros de serie B que da lugar a una nueva reencarnación del estilo de Clowes, describiéndolo como "un viaje mortal por el tiempo y el espacio hasta las esencias del amor eterno".

Der schmächtige Außenseiter Andy muss im Alter von 17 Jahren feststellen, dass ihm seine erste Zigarette übermenschliche Kräfte verleiht. Von dieser nikotingegebenen Macht bereits überfordert, fällt ihm wenig später ein Erbe seines Vaters in die Hände: ein Todesstrahler wie aus einem Ed-Wood-Film. Nur allzu bald lernt er, dessen zerstörerische Kraft für seine egoistischen und gänzlich banalen Zwecke einzusetzen. Was als Coming-of-Age-Erzählung beginnt, wandelt sich rasant zur abgründigen Satire. Indem Daniel Clowes einen orientierungslosen Teenager über Gut und Böse entscheiden lässt, entlarvt er die moralische Zwiespältigkeit jeder einfachen Heldengerechtigkeit.

This is a redesigned reprint of Daniel Clowes's early, unsettling graphic novel.

Einem der beliebtesten und besten Cartoonisten der Gegenwart gelingt in seiner neuen Graphic Novel das bewegende Porträt eines modernen Egomanen. Wilson ist ein Sonderling mittleren Alters, meinungsstark und selbstvergessen, ein liebenswertes Ekel. Er hat einen Hund, den er liebt, dem Rest der Welt geht er auf die Nerven. Ob Freunde oder Fremde: Wilson drängt ihnen einseitige Gespräche auf und akzentuiert seine hochtrabenden Ausführungen mit einem brutal ehrlichen Sinn für Humor. Die Wahrheit ist: Wilson ist einsam. Dann stirbt sein Vater, und Wilson, jetzt endgültig allein, macht sich auf, seine Ex-Frau zu suchen. Er findet heraus, dass er eine halbwüchsige Tochter hat, und will die Familie wieder zusammenbringen - ein Versuch, der nur fürchterlich scheitern kann. Wilson, konzipiert als Folge von Einzelseitenstrips, ist ein Buch wie ein melancholischer Stoßseufzer: das Werk eines Künstlers auf der Höhe seines Könnens und eine universelle, berührende Geschichte.

Emerging from the 1980s alternative comics scene, Daniel Clowes is a pivotal figure in graphic novel development, known for his serialized Eightball comics. His works, including David Boring and Ice Haven, are celebrated for their sophistication and complexity. Clowes also co-adapted his graphic novel Ghost World into a screenplay with Terry Zwigoff, earning an Academy Award nomination. His distinctive voice and innovative storytelling have significantly influenced the medium of comics and graphic novels.

Der 19-jährige David Boring gerät in eine wilde, aber gleichzeitig von einer durchdringenden Melancholie geprägte Story. Er verliebt sich in eine geheimnisvolle Frau, er wird niedergeschossen, flieht vor der Polizei, versteckt sich auf einer einsamen Insel, während der Weltuntergang bevorsteht.

This hilarious classic is a brutal, scathing peek into the insular, pathetic world of the comics industry. If you think Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons is pathetic (and hilarious), wait 'til you meet Dan Pussey! A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art in a new edition, with a new 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. 64 pages of black-and-white comics

In this graphic novel, Random Wilder reluctantly guides readers through the sleepy town of Ice Haven. As the local poet, he faces competition from his rival, Ida Wentz, who is prominently featured in the Ice Haven Daily Progress. The story is rich with surprises, unique characters, and includes a classic mystery.

Komiks autora Daniela Clowese by měli mít v povinné výbavě všichni fanouškové "divných" komiksů i obdivovatelé Davida Lynche. Tenhle komiks je důkazem toho, že komiks je samostatné a plnohodnotné médium, které nabízí autorům s jedinečnou fantazií možnosti, které filmu i literatuře scházejí. Pro film s takovým množstvím obskurních úchylností by se našel producent a hlavně finance jen stěží, klasický román je zase ochuzen o výtvarné ztvárnění. O jedinečnosti způsobu, jakým komiks dokáže regulovat tempo čtení a tím i příběhu, ani nemluvě.

Trailing the success of the movie based on Clowes' graphic novel Ghost World (1997) comes this collection of shorter stories from his alternative comic book Eightball . Many of the pieces are tirades, albeit entertaining ones, about things Clowes despises (perhaps the comic should have been called Hateball ). "On Sports" details his contempt for professional athletics, and "Art School Confidential" is an expose of pretentious, talentless poseurs. This approach is carried to its logical peak in "I Hate You Deeply," a litany of the "types" that annoy Clowes, from "fashion plates" to "crybabies, whiners, and sensitive people." Clowes puts his misanthropy in abeyance for slice-of-life stories in which he ruminates during a stroll around his neighborhood or fantasizes about his fellow passengers on a subway. Worthwhile enough, these earlier stories merely presage Clowes' far-more-impressive recent work in which cynicism is presented more subtly, leavened with sympathy, and voiced by well-developed characters. If these pieces lack the heft of Clowes' longer, more ambitious efforts, the best of them are still masterful miniatures.

Ghose World tells of the adventures of Enid Coleslaw and Beck Doppelmeyer, two bored, supremely ironic teenage girls. They pass the time complaining about the guys they know and fantasising about strange men they see in the local diner. Clowes captures th

The bestselling author of Ghost World collects his acclaimed short stories from Eightball and Esquire. The dramatic short stories included in Caricature have drawn comparisons to Nabokov for their complex naturalism and sense of humor. Anchored by the title story, considered the first apotheosis of Clowes' seminal Eightball underground comic book series, Caricature also includes eight other stories, including "Green Eyeliner," a six-page full-color short story originally published in Esquire as the first work of comics to be featured in the magazine's fiction issue (and commissioned by then-editor Dave Eggers). Also included are: a rare fully-painted short, "MCMLXVI," the full-color "Gold Mommy," "Glue Destiny," "Gynecology," "Immortal, Invisible," "Blue Italian Shit," "Like a Weed, Joe," "Black Satin," an all-new cover, and more.
