WILSON ER en godhjertet døgenikt, en ensom ungkar, en god ektemann og far, en idiot. en sosiopat, en besserwisser med vrangforestillinger, en skjør blomst, 100% Wilson. Alexander Payne skal regissere filmversjonen av WILSON: «I've been inspired all my life by silent comedies, and I think this middle-aged guy who has made all the wrong decisions is my comic archetype. We're all trying to wake up in this brief flash of life on this planet, unless we're complete idiots, and I root for these characters to grow and wake up, the way I root for myself to grow and wake up.» Alexander Payne På norsk av Daniel Clowes: Den prisbelønte og filmatiserte «Ghost world» og «Som en silkehanske støpt i jern». Clowes had mottatt flere priser, bl.a PEN Center USA Literary Award «honoring his Outstanding Body of Work in Graphic Lit». «Daniel Clowes has explored the tedium and mystery of contemporary American life with more wit and insight than most novelists or filmmakers.» New York Times «For those interested in comic art's potential, Clowes' work offers exciting literary possibilities.» Time Magazine
Daniel Clowes er en af USA’s mest populære og indflydelsesrige tegneserieskabere. Han har vundet adskillige Harvey-, Eisner- og Ignatz-priser, såvel som the PEN Literary Award for Graphic Literature og en Oscar-nominering for manuskriptet til filmudgaven af hans gennembrudshit GHOST WORLD (også udgivet på dansk).Hans nye grafiske roman PATIENCE blander science-fiction, romance og noir i en hæsblæsende cocktail.
När Clay kommer hem från ett biobesök är världen omkring honom plötsligt annorlunda, och den blir alltmer kuslig. Bland mutanter och konspirationsdårar, bland människor med skaldjur i ögonen och hundar utan kroppsöppningar söker han efter en kvinna ur sitt förflutna. ”Som en sammetshandske smidd i järn” är en fascinerande, gåtfull, mardrömsliknande, kanske obehaglig serie, inte utan släktskap med David Lynchs filmer. Stämningen understryks av Daniel Clowes säreget precisa stil med inslag av 50-tals-retro. Daniel Clowes är en av de senare årens kultgestalter bland serieskapare. ”Som en sammetshandske smidd i järn” var hans genombrottserie.
Enid och Becky är bästisar i ett typiskt medelklassamhälle och har just slutat high school. I senpubertetens spökvärld letar de efter sig själva och efter äkthet, bemöter livet med en cool attityd och vet oändligt mycket bättre vad som gäller än alla de andra. Både de vuxna och – i synnerhet – de jämnåriga. Någonstans bortom spökvärlden lockar och skrämmer resten av livet och en vuxnare värld. Daniel Clowes – född i Chicago på Jayne Mansfields 29-årsdag – är nog de senaste årens största kultgestalt bland serieskapare. Ghost World är hans hittills mest realistiska serie, där hans sinne för det bisarra ligger mest under ytan och i huvudpersonernas försök att ge färg åt världen. Ghost World är rörande, sentimental, drömsk, kaxig och bitvis oerhört rolig. Det kan knappast ha undgått någon att Ghost World har blivit en kritikerhyllad film med stort publiktycke och hög kultstatus. Det var Clowes själv som skrev manuset till filmen tillsammans med regissören Terry Zwigoff.
Gynekologiaa on novellimittainen voimannäyte yhdeltä yhdysvaltalaisen nykysarjakuvan mestareista. Siinä Daniel Clowes kaivautuu kirurgisella tarkkuudella nuoren herra Eppsin mielenlaatuun, tämän taitelijuuteen sekä ympärillä vaeltavaan surulliseen seurapiiriin. Epps on katkeroitunut, tarkoituksellisesti ajan terältä tiputtautunut ihmisvihaaja, jonka koko elämä tuntuu suuntaavaan kohti lamaantunutta yksinäisyyttä. Tässä 24-sivuisessa sarjakuvanovellissa Clowes osoittaa syyt, mitkä ovat johtaneet päähenkilön tuomittuun elämäänsä.Gynekologiaa julkaistiin alunperin vuonna 1996 Eightball-lehden numerossa 17. Daniel Clowesilta (s. 1961) on aiemmin suomennettu sarjakuvateokset Wilson (2011, Like) sekä Terry Zwigoffin ohjaamana elokuvanakin tutuksi tullut Ghost World (2002, BV2).
Before authoring one of the most beloved children s book series of all time Harold and the Purple Crayon cartoonist Crockett Johnson created the comic strip Barnaby for over ten years (1942 to 1952). Its subtle ironies and playful allusions never won a broad following, but the adventures of 5-year-old Barnaby Baxter and his fairy godfather Jackeen J. O Malley was and is a critical favorite.Fantagraphics will introduce the wonders of Barnaby to a new generation of children and parents alike. Co-edited by Johnson biographer Philip Nel (Dr. Seuss: American Icon) and Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds, with art direction by graphic novelist Daniel Clowes (Ghost World), this five-volume Barnaby series will collect the entirety of the original newspaper strips from 1942-1952. The first volume will collect all the strips from 1942 and 1943.Barnaby revolved around a precocious five-year-old named Barnaby Baxter and his fairly godfather Jackeen J. O Malley. Yet O Malley, a cigar-chomping, bumbling con-artist and fast-talker, was not your typical protector. His grasp of magic was usually specious at best, limited to occasional flashes, often aided and abetted by his fellow members in The Elves, Leprechauns, Gnomes, and Little Men s Chowder & Marching Society.Barnaby s deft balance of fantasy, political commentary, sophisticated wit, and elegantly spare images expanded our sense of what comic strips can do. With subtlety and economy, Barnaby proved that comics need not condescend to readers. Its small but influential readership took that message to heart.
A gorgeously rendered graphic novel of Daniel Alarc n's story City of Clowns. From the author of The King Is Always Above the People, which was longlisted for the 2017 National Book Award for Fiction. Oscar "Chino" Uribe is a young Peruvian journalist for a local tabloid paper. After the recent death of his philandering father, he must confront the idea of his father's other family, and how much of his own identity has been shaped by his father's murky morals. At the same time, he begins to chronicle the life of street clowns, sad characters who populate the violent and corrupt city streets of Lima, and is drawn into their haunting, fantastical world. This remarkably affecting story by Daniel Alarc n was included in his acclaimed first book, War by Candlelight, and now, in collaboration with artist Sheila Alvarado, it takes on a new, thrilling form. This graphic novel, with its short punches of action and images, its stark contrasts between light and dark, truth and fiction, perfectly corresponds to the tone of Chino's story. With the city of Lima as a character, and the bold visual language from the story, City of Clowns is moving, menacing, and brilliantly vivid.
Hans Bengler, a young entomologist, leaves Sweden for the Kalahari Desert, determined to find a previously undiscovered insect to name after himself and advance his career.
A delightful retelling of the story of Daniel in the Lions' Den, especially for under 5s. It features full-colour photographic spreads of the characters from the award-winning Big Bible Storybook. This board book is perfectly sized for small hands, with short text for a parent or carer to read to the child.
In 1878, aspiring entomologist Hans Bengler travels to the Kalahari Desert in hopes of making a name for himself by discovering a previously unknown insect or two. There he encounters a boy named Molo, an orphan whose family has been killed by European colonists. Bengler "civilizes" the boy by rechristening him Daniel, teaching him to pray to the Christian god, and finally bringing him home to Sweden. The boy is bewildered and awed by the new land, cut off from his culture and the spirits of his family, and Bengler finds that raising a child across a great cultural divide is more difficult than he imagined. A psychological drama of one boy's struggle to find his place in a new land far from home, Daniel is a compelling novel for our modern globalized world.
