Cartoonist Dan Clowes was interviewed last year at the Strand Book store in NYC last year, where he talked about Gilbert Ortiz’ sad, striking photo of the great Wally Wood in his studio in 1978.
In the first all-new graphic novel [Wilson] from one of the leading cartoonists of our time, Daniel Clowes (joined here by David Hadju, author of The Ten Cent Plague: the Great Comic Book Scare and How it Changed America) creates a thoroughly engaging, complex and fascinating portrait of the modern egoist–outspoken and oblivious to the world around him. Working in a single-page-gag format and drawing in a spectrum of styles, the cartoonist of GhostWorld, Ice Haven and David Boring gives us his funniest and most deeply affecting novel to date.
