Summary |
Compulsive Comics collects the very best of Eric Havens singular brand of inverted-comic-book-consciousness and genre-bending short stories. The Glacier is about a lone scientist making a startling discovery. The volumes most controversial story, I Killed Dan Clowes, is an epic conflation of autobio and fantasy. While driving around Oakland, ruminating on the history of underground comics in the Bay Area, the main character fatally hits acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, and the absurdity only escalates from there. Black & white illustrations with some color. |
