I mean, I am all for unconventional narratives, but this one seemed to put all these major plot points in the panels and shake them up and present a semi-plausible story (if we live in comic-book-land, that is), but then what? I kept waiting for the really deep creepy stuff to set in, the murky dreams and fantasies under the surface to pop up, but we only got peeks. ![]() ![]() ![]() I was surprised by the dark, jarring, choppy storytelling, but I was willing to go along with it-at first. Of course the artwork is great (if you like the super-slick flawless look, which sometimes I do) and I’m still amazed at how Clowes manages to draw faces that remind me of real people, yet maintain the “cartoonishness” of an illustration.īut as for the narrative, I was left with more questions than I’m willing to let go unresolved. This book was a bit disappointing for me since I’d always seen it around thinking it would be one of the best (and “Ghost World” is one of my all-time faves), but I was let down. ![]()
