This is a new edition of Daniel Clowes’s classic comic about Enid and Rebecca, two teenage girls, and their adventures growing up in a nondescript American town. Enid is bitter and cynical, finding fault in everything and everyone, while Rebecca is quiet and reflective but prepared to engage with the world.
The original release weighs in at 80 pages which makes this 288 page extended hard cover edition very generous. There’s a lot of extra material covering the making of both the comic and the film (which is also excellent). Scripts, posters, merchandise, in fact pretty much everything you wanted to know about Ghost World with commentary from Clowes’s himself.
He’s also drawn some new strips and written a new introduction. If you don’t own it (or haven’t read it) now would seem the perfect opportunity to introduce yourself…
