Pussey!
[ author: daniel clowes ]
To call Daniel Clowes an artistic genius could be misconstrued as me sucking his dick. And I'll leave that to Adrian Tomine. But I will say the kid is pretty damn good. His regular comic, Eightball, is one of the best-selling, most critically acclaimed independent comic books of our time and it comes as no surprise. His realistic style of graphic storytelling sways between morbid, melancholy, and grossly surreal, forcing readers to take a hard look at the movie that is their life. Pussey! Is Clowes' semi-autobiographical collection of strips revolving around comics artist Dan Pussey. Pussy is a comics nerd who specializes in drawing superhero-types. Watch as Pussey grows from fan boy to phenomenon and eventually is double-crossed by the medium he loves so much. If you've ever been in love, had your heart broken or been abused physically or mentally, well then you know what it's like to be a Pussey. Available direct from Fantagraphics.com
