Overview
A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art in a new
edition, with a new cover and intro by Clowes! This hilarious classic from Dan
Clowes is a brutal and scathing peek into the insular, pathetic world
of the comic book industry, as seen through the eyes of antihero Dan
Pussey (pronounced "Pooh-say"), creator of the smash superhero comic
"Nauseator." From cradle to grave, Clowes presents the complete saga of
Young Dan Pussey, mercilessly skewering the business and medium of
comics, bouncing from art to commerce to culture high and low. Clowes
not only parodies the superhero genre (notably Stan "The Man" Lee), but
also his own peers, from his publishers and fellow authors at
Fantagraphics to artistic heavyweights like Art Spiegelman (seen here
as "Gummo Bubbleman"). Through it all, Pussey dreams endlessly about
having sex with a woman, but even those fantasies degenerate into
superhero scenarios.
