Wilson

In Wilson (2010–present, Cornélius), Daniel Clowes crafts a single-issue portrait of a middle-aged man navigating life’s disappointments with prickly, often misguided candor. Released under the Cornélius imprint, this standalone comic distills Clowes’s signature blend of acerbic wit and melancholy into a tightly focused character study. It matters as a showcase of Clowes’s ability to find profound humanity in an unlikable protagonist, offering a concise, masterful example of his storytelling craft.
