Like you, I
love me some Daniel Clowes. In the past decade or so the creator of the epochal alt-comics series
Eightball has rightfully scaled to the summit (or close to it anyway) of literary comics, where he has proceeded to produce some of the medium's most thought-provoking works of art. Whether it's
Mister Wonderful,
Wilson,
Ice Haven or
Ghost World, the Clowes seems to have genuine insight into the human soul.
He even knows how to write good super-hero stories, as evidenced by his latest book
The Death-Ray, which I reviewed this weekend for
The Globe and Mail.
And I agree whole-heartedly with that headline. If this book isn't the last word on superhero comics for you I'll eat my cape.
