Ghost World 10th Anniversary Special Edition

Coming early summer 2008 from Fantagraphics is the Ghost World 10th Anniversary Special Edition by Dan Clowes. This edition will be nearly 300 pages and collect the original graphic novel, the Academy Award-nominated screenplay, and almost 50 pages of supplementary material. Included in the extras will be a new introduction by Clowes to the original graphic novel and annotations throughout the story. Plus, several new strips featuring Enid and Rebecca were created just for this edition. It will be a deluxe hardcover.

For those not yet familiar with Ghost World, I strongly suggest catching up, as it is essential post-underground comic reading. The lose plot follows the lives of main protagonist Enid Coleslaw and her sidekick Rebecca, two recent high school graduates who are not sure what they are going to do with the rest of their lives. Satirical and cynical, the dark and critical humor helped define Gen-X comics and inspired the Ghost World film, starring Thora Birch and Scarlett Johansson.

Ghost World is an amazing way to introduce non-comic readers to comics, and the special edition will be great for both new and old fans alike. Don't miss this amazing edition of Dan Clowes' definitive masterpiece.
