About this Collection

This volume collects the complete three-issue series David Boring, a graphic novel by Daniel Clowes originally serialized in 1998-1999. The story follows the titular character, a detached young man navigating surreal and unsettling events involving his family, a mysterious girlfriend, and a dark conspiracy. Clowes' signature deadpan style and intricate linework explore themes of identity, obsession, and the absurdity of modern life.

"Act One" from David Boring #nn (2000) finds Daniel Clowes delivering a sharp, introspective story through his own writing, art, inking, and lettering—every detail drawn from his singular vision. David wrestles with the weight of his past, caught between a lingering fixation on an old girlfriend and his fragile connection with Dot, while a quiet, persistent yearning for answers about his absent father drives the narrative forward. The cover, also by Clowes, mirrors the story’s moody, personal tone.
