"Meet Marshall. Sitting alone in the local coffee place. He''s been set up by his friend Tim on a blind date with someone named Natalie, and now he''s just feeling set up. She''s nine minutes late and counting. Who was he kidding anyway? Divorced, middle-aged, newly unemployed, with next to no prospects, Marshall isn''t exactly what you''d call a catch ... Then, after nearly an hour, when he''s long since given up hope, Natalie appears--breathless, apologizing profusely that she went to the wrong place. She takes a seat, to Marshall''s utter amazement. She''s too good to be true: attractive, young, intelligent, and she seems to be seriously engaged with what Marshall has to say. There has to be a catch. And, of course, there is. During the extremely long night that follows, Marshall and Natalie are emotionally tested in ways that two people who just met really should not be. Not, at least, if they want the prospect of a second date."--Publisher.

BOLA OCHO/EIGHT BALL SERIES: 1990-2, 1997-8, 2002-04 HARVEY WINNER; 2002 EISNER WINNER. One of the best-selling and critically-acclaimed graphic novels of all-time, telling the story of two supremely ironic, above-it-all teenagers facing the thrilling uncertainty of life after high school. As they attempt to carry their life-long friendship into a new era, the careful dynamics of their inseparable bond are jolted, and what seemed like a future of endless possibilities looks more like an encroaching reality of strip malls, low-paying service jobs and fading memories. Ghost Worldis also a major motion picture --Daniel Clowes and Terry Zwigoff received Academy Award & Golden Globe nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay. a classic in any medium --The Onion

Clowes'' first book remains a modern classic 15 years after the English edition''s debut in "Eightball," an award-winning comic series known for its gleefully incisive social satire. This noirish, surreal graphic novel that follows a man''s search for his ex-lover has been favorably compared to the works of David Lynch and Fellini.

This career overview of one of comics'' greatest creators collects raw, un-retouched original pages from the very beginning of Daniel Clowes''s career (1986''s Lloyd Llewelyn) to his one-man anthology, Eightball, in which his groundbreaking graphic novel Ghost World was originally serialized. It follows his work into the 21st century, up to his 2016 graphic novel about time travel, Patience, which spent 20+ weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller list. This is a must-have book for students, fans, and collectors.

Andy est un garçon solitaire, sans famille ni copains, un tantinet misanthrope. Accablé par la médiocrité mêlée d''arrogance de ses contemporains et hanté par un terrible désir de vengeance, il se rêve une destinée exceptionnelle. Las d''une adolescence qui s''éternise, indifférent au monde qui l''entoure, il passe le plus clair de son temps avec Louie, son meilleur - et unique - ami. Tous deux coulent une jeunesse mélancolique dans une banlieue ordinaire, jusqu''au jour où Louie entraîne Andy dans ses frasques, l''initiant au Punk Rock et... aux cigarettes. Surprise, le tabac semble avoir sur Andy un effet inédit, le dotant soudain d''une force extraordinaire et de pouvoirs mystérieux. Le voilà désormais dans la peau d''un super-héros. Les super-méchants n''ont plus qu''à bien se tenir. Mais où les trouver dans une ville sans histoire et sans ambition...? Savant mélange d''élégance, d''aliénation et de déconstruction des genres, Le rayon de la mort est le dernier opus d''Eightball, le comic book dans lequel Daniel Clowes créa les classiques que sont devenus Ghost World, David Boring et Comme un gant de velours pris dans la fonte. En racontant l''histoire d''un criminel avec les artifices du récit de super-héros, Clowes revisite les codes esthétiques de la culture populaire pour en exposer le versant le plus trouble. Hommage et réflexion critique, Le Rayon de la mort met une nouvelle fois en scène l''attachement teinté d''ironie que Clowes porte aux adolescents et à la bande dessinée, fascination synthétisée ici dans une construction parfaite. A l''heure où les bons sentiments sont valorisés sur tous les fronts, cette pépite éclatante de misanthropie viendra rassurer profitablement le sociopathe qui sommeille en tout un chacun.
