Publisher's Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Ghost World comes this hilarious and satirical graphic novel, peeking into the insular, pathetic world of the comic book industry. As seen through the eyes of smash-superhero-comic creator Dan Pussey (Poo-say'), mercilessly skewering the business and medium of comics, bouncing from art to commerce to culture high and low. 'As he lampoons the world of comics, Clowes writes with an ear that has clearly spent plenty of house at the dorkiest event Western civilization has yet devised: the comics convention.' - Spin'

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
