Trade ReviewFor once in a comic story, people are portrayed as they really talk and act. Clowes' pitch is uncannily accurate * Washington Post *
A hilarious, melancholy graphic novel * Newsweek *
Clowes' remarkable
Ghost World might some day become a primer for the next generation of comics writers and artists... Masterfull * Spin *
Clowes spells out the realities of teenage angst as powerfully and authentically as Salinger did in
Catcher in the Rye 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 *
