Ghost World #[nn]

Daniel Clowes's Ghost World arrives in this 2000 German-language edition from Reprodukt, presenting his sharply observed story of teenage alienation and friendship. The cover, drawn by Clowes himself, brings us face-to-face with two young women — one dark-haired with green-tipped hair and orange-tinted glasses, cigarette at her lips, and the other blonde, blowing a pink bubble-gum bubble — rendered in Clowes's cool, flat Pop Art-inflected style against a soft blue background. Framed by an ornate blue decorative border, this edition feels like both a careful literary object and an ideal introduction to one of the most distinctive voices in alternative comics of its era.
