You are reporting a comment on the following title: Ghost World Daniel Clowes You are reporting the following comment: julieb43, March 27, 2009 An alternately bleak and hilarious look at adolescent angst. The characters, especially Enid, are wonderfully expressive and real. The graphics are a stand-out as well. These two teenage best friends can be cruel (they unceremoniously mock just about everybody), but they are ultimately searching for some sense of identity in an increasingly empty landscape of strip malls and low-wage jobs. Clowes creates a teenage landscape full of longing and dread; nothing is sugar-coated, but he retains his sense of humour. One feels for these girls, hoping that their future won't be the dreary one they're trying to avoid. The movie version is outstanding as well, with Steve Buschemi creating a role that was only slightly fleshed out in the graphic novel. Your email address: Reason for report: Are you a robot?
