Comic book limitations?



Daniel Clowes created a few stories and novels, like the ones seen above, and put it in the comic book media form. The art is just like that of a comic book and the arrangement of it (panels) go along with this style. It's a completely different genre of comic book. There is no super heroes or powers. It is described as "For once in a comic story, people are portrayed as they really act and talk". This genre of comics seems to lessen the limitations for people who are attracted to the style but want a different kind of story to read. It was also a comic adapted into a film! Good movie, should definitely be watched.

  3. yea it does. on that other picture for 20th C. Eightball, there is a story called "Art School Confidential". If you liked Ghost World, you'd probably like that movie too.
