Caricature

$16.95

by Daniel Clowes

The bestselling author of Ghost World collects his acclaimed short stories from Eightball and Esquire.

The dramatic short stories included in Caricature have drawn comparisons to Nabokov for their complex naturalism and sense of humor. Anchored by the title story, considered the first apotheosis of Clowes’ seminal Eightball underground comic book series, Caricature also includes eight other stories, including “Green Eyeliner,” a six-page full-color short story originally published in Esquire as the first work of comics to be featured in the magazine’s fiction issue.
