Wilson

Daniel Clowes's Wilson is a single-issue comic from 2010, published by Eichborn, that distills the creator's signature blend of caustic wit and emotional depth into a portrait of a misanthropic, lonely man. The issue follows its titular character through a series of vignettes and encounters that reveal his flawed, often abrasive personality, making it a sharp and poignant character study. As a concentrated burst of Clowes's storytelling, Wilson matters for its unflinching, yet oddly empathetic, look at human connection and alienation.
