Description
Daniel Clowes' Caricature is a collection of dramatic short stories that showcase his unique blend of complex naturalism and dark humor. Anchored by the title story, which marks an early milestone in his influential Eightball series, this book also features eight other tales, including "Green Eyeliner," a six-page full-color piece originally published in Esquire. Among these stories is "MCMLXVI," a rare fully-painted short, as well as "Gold Mommy" and "Glue Destiny." Other notable pieces include "Gynecology," "Immortal, Invisible," "Blue Italian Shit," and "Like a Weed, Joe." This collection offers a glimpse into Clowes' distinctive storytelling style, which has drawn comparisons to the work of Vladimir Nabokov. With its diverse range of stories and unique visual elements, Caricature is an excellent introduction to Daniel Clowes' oeuvre.
