Ah comic books, graphic novels, whatever you want to call them . . . like poetry, I can’t stop reading them. Daniel Clowes’ Pussey! is a lot more lightweight than the darker aspects of his books Wilson and The Ray Gun. This fictional biography of a minor illustrator and comic writer works as both a satire of ‘comic book culture’ and a homage. Clowes’ drawings convey a kind of eerie loneliness; his maverick male anti-heroes with their singular purpose and bizarre artistic commitments, tread the earth alone.
