Clowes spells out the realities of teenage angst as powerfully and authentically as Salinger did in <i>Catcher in the Rye</i> for an earlier generation

Hartford Advocate

If ever there was a comic book story meant to be examined by non-comics fans, it's this, a classic in any medium

The Onion

Ghost World is the story of Enid and Rebecca, teenage friends facing the unwelcome prospect of adulthood, and the uncertain future of their complicated relationship. Clowes conjures a balanced semblance, both tender and objective, of their fragile existence, capturing the mundane thrills and hourly tragedies of a waning adolescence, as he follows a tenuous narrative thread through the fragmented lives of these two fully realised young women.
