Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron
........this is a legitamately scary comic. don't fuck around with this until you are ready. Dan Clowes, writer of _Ghost World_, had some dark shit on the brain when he started this in 1989. you might think it is incoherent, but it is the jumps in narration, the mix of dreams and reality that make it unnerving. i don't particularly like a "good scare", but if we are going to talk about art in the graphic novel form, this is it.
