One of the greatest graphic novels of alltime, in an expanded, hardcover editionthe full graphic novel, the complete script of the Oscarnominated movie, and over 30 pages of rare ephemera. Originally released in 1997 as a limited hardcover edition of 2,500 copies that sold out almost instantly, Ghost World has subsequently gone through 18 softcover printings, selling in excess of 150,000 copies in the United States, becoming one of the bestselling and most revered graphic novels of alltime, culminating in the 2001 Academy Awardnominated film.To commemorate the tenth anniversary, Fantagraphics Books released this deluxe, expanded Ghost World special edition in 2008, combining the original graphic novel, the Oscarnominated screenplay adaptation by Clowes and Terry Zwigoff, as well as over two dozen pages of rare and obscure bonus material in one book, along with a new cover and introduction.Ghost World is the story of Becky and Enid, two teenaged girls and best friends facing the prospect of not only growing up, but growing apart from each other. Clowes paints a tender picture of this intellectually precocious, sexually adventurous (despite a mutual lack of experience), and formative period in their lives, filtered through a blue hue echoing a world lit by the cathode rays of a television a perfect metaphor for their post nuclear existence. Both naturalistic and nostalgic, Ghost World carves a layered narrative out of the daily existence of these fullyrealized young women.Ghost World: The Special Edition included the original, 80page graphic novel; the outofprint, Oscarnominated 106page screenplay; the littleseen comic strip created for the Ghost World soundtrack; and over 30 pages of rare ephemera related to the book and film, including covers to foreign editions of Ghost World, rare promotional art, pictures, sketches and much more. 116 fullcolor pages and 116 blackandwhite pages of comics
