Description

The most anticipated graphic novel of 2016: from the creator of Ghost World.

Patience is incredibly captivating – a stunning marriage of text, image, and design, and a demonstration of Clowes’ sheer mastery of the art of sequential storytelling. A must-have for any graphic novel section.” — Booklist

“Disturbing, convoluted, darkly comic and just plain dark, the book itself is a thing of beauty. The book’s self-awareness and sympathy make it more than just an exercise in the mixing of genres, but it’s in this unabashed mixing that Clowes creates a story that is as transcendent as it is upsetting — and affirming.” — Chicago Tribune

“Dan Clowes. American. A master. Perfect fusion of story and art. Clowes is an auteur. Period. A superb narrator. Patience is the rare time travel tale that fully delivers.” — Guillermo Del Toro
