Twentieth Century Eightball

Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was already the most talked-about series of the 1990s. Renowned for its gleefully incisive social satire, The Village Voice proclaimed it “brilliant,” and Art Spiegelman called it “curdlingly good.”

20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips/rants as “I Hate You Deeply”, “Sexual Frustration”, “Ugly Girls”, “Why I Hate Christians”, “My Suicide”, and over three dozen more. Other favorites include “Art School Confidential”, one of Clowes’ most popular strips of all-time.
