While driving around Oakland, ruminating on the history of
underground comics in the Bay Area, the main character fatally hits Dan Clowes.
After convincing his partner to help him hide the body, he immediately goes on
to accidentally kill another indie comics darling. The two spirits meet in the
afterlife and, because God likes their comics, are able to return to Earth to
exact revenge. “I Killed Dan Clowes” is Haven’s hilarious, self-reflexive (and superbly
rendered) jab at himself and the independent comics scene.
