Clowes Report - Mr. Wonderful

The New York Times will be launching Daniel Clowes' new weekly comic strip "Mister Wonderful" this Sunday, September 16th. This is exciting news for Clowes fans, as this is the first new work from the cartoonist since 2004's "Death Ray" issue of Eightball. Clowes has released very little information about the series besides it will be a "romance" and will run through January 2008.

In other similar news, Clowes, as well as Art Spiegelman (Maus) and Alan Moore (V for Vendetta) will be guest stars on the Simpsons on October 7. The episode will be about a rival comic shop that opens in Springfield owned by a character voiced by Jack Black.

Finally, Clowes will be releasing a special 10th anniversary edition of Ghost World with a brand new cover in 2008.

It's about time to get a Clowes update that's worth a damn!
