	Daniel Clowes - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Daniel Clowes opens the door to his Berkeley, Calif., house, and the image of him standing there -- as if in wary anticipation of some unforeseen but likely horror -- recalls at least half a dozen of his comic book characters in action.
		Clowes himself is ethereal in a way that makes you wonder if his feet are actually touching the ground.
		Clowes' house is calm, quiet and crammed with meticulously arranged and organized stuff that makes you want to sit on the floor immediately and start rummaging through it.

	Daniel Clowes
		Daniel Clowes (sometimes credited as Dan Clowes) is a comics-author and cartoonist of alternative comic books, including Eightball, and Lloyd Llewelyn.
		Clowes was born on April 14th, 1961 in Chicago.
		Clowes continues to issue Eightball sporadically, with the most recent issues ("Ice Haven" #22 [2002] and "The Death-Ray" #23 [2004]) each conceived as an artistically ambitious and self-contained work, featuring oversized, all-color formats.

		When Daniel Clowes draws himself into one of his comics, he never appears as a dashing, heroic, barrel-chested figure, and the odds that he's there to fight crime in a Lycra suit are slim.
		Clowes is gloomy enough: "I can't imagine what a place like that would do to me." So this former Chicagoan has exiled himself to a land of constant temperatures and sunlight, where residents enthuse over the foam atop their lattes ("I want to take a picture of it!" said one woman.
		Clowes pauses during one of his responses to watch a man wearing a torn bomber jacket and a spattered, short-order cook's apron slowly drag what looks to be a dirty rabbit brush through his long blond hair.

	Mote MGZN - Daniel Clowes Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Clowes' comics are a haven for malcontents and outsiders, reflecting back on itself this unsympathetic world with all its shadings of pettiness and stupidity.
		Clowes says, as opposed to the army of characters he has sent forth to represent himself in the past, he is not David Boring.
		That might make it sound like Daniel Clowes has it made, in a sense; that he's living that dream of doing what he wants to do, on his own terms, and all that crap, but being an "adult comic artist," he says, comes with its own peculiar set of quirks.

	Salon.com People \| Daniel Clowes
		Clowes -- whom fellow cartoonist Chris Ware calls "easily the best cartoonist in America" -- is probably most famous for his original comic book series "Eightball." "Eightball" has been variously described as a "cult," an "alternative" and an "underground" comic -- meaning that Clowes doesn't draw mutants, aliens or men in tights.
		Clowes was born in Chicago in 1961, and his childhood was "perfect if you want your child to grow up to be a cartoonist." He was a "shy, loner, bookworm kind of kid" who liked to sit in his room and do comics.
		Clowes remembers looking at them and trying to figure out what was going on in the stories and trying to decipher the coded message that his brother surely had left for him to unravel.

		Daniel Clowes nasce a Chicago "il giorno del ventinovesimo compleanno di Jayne Mansfield" (14 Aprile 1961).

	Daniel Clowes
		Born on Jayne Mansfield's 29th birthday, Dan Clowes studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.
		In the early eighties, Clowes became synonymous with line drawings rendered in the style of kitschy, atmospheric 1950s architecture, advertising, and pop culture.
		In 1998, Clowes was commissioned by former Esquire Editor Dave Eggers to be the first cartoonist to contribute a comic story -- Green Eyeliner -- to the magazine's annual fiction issue.

		And it took a surprise hit movie to make Daniel Clowes the next beloved cartoonist for people who think they don't like cartoonists (though Chris Ware, whose "Jimmy Corrigan" was the first graphic novel to win the Guardian First Book Award, isn't far behind).
		Clowes' reputation is based on writing the graphic equivalent of literary short stories and novels; these are the kinds of stories that would have made the New Yorker were it not for the pictures (though of course several of Clowes' strips as well as his illustrations have made the New Yorker).
		In the graphic novel, Clowes even shows himself and his work as an object of Enid's ridicule; she shows up at one of his signings, only to find out that he is some pathetic old guy.

		Clowes started on the screenplay, but writing went "unbelievably slow." But by the time it was done, rewritten over and over again, "it was by far the most perfected piece of work I'd ever done.
		Clowes still marvels at the Hollywood studios' lack of imagination, but eventually he and Zwigoff got the green light from studio execs looking for another teen-angst hit.
		Clowes and his wife had planned to go to Easter Island with a bunch of friends for the event--"I liked the idea of being there, and having the whole Western world destroyed--coming back to some kind of Planet of the Apes-like wasteland"--but it turned out to be astronomically expensive.

	Daniel Clowes Bio
		Daniel Clowes was born in Chicago “on Jayne Mansfield’s 29th birthday” (April 14, 1961).
		Clowes’ early artistic inspirations may have seemed normal enough — Superman, MAD magazine, B-grade science fiction and horror movies — but what was mere entertainment to most pre-adolescents affected young Dan quite differently.
		Clowes studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, even though he considers himself to be largely self-taught.

		Daniel Clowes es, junto con Peter Bagge (Odio), el autor más importante del cómic underground-alternativo de los años 90 en Estados Unidos.
		Daniel Clowes nació en Chicago el 14 de abril de 1961, el día del "vigésimo noveno cumpleaños de Jayne Mansfield" como a él le gusta recordar, admirando como admira la estética y la cultura norteamericana de la década de 1950.
		A partir de ahí Clowes, con total libertad creativa, ha dado rienda suelta a sus demonios y obsesiones, ha analizado socarronamente el mundo del cómic en EEUU y ha creado un par de obras realmente antológicas, convirtiéndose, con el permiso de Peter Bagge [autor de Odio] en el rey del nuevo underground.

		Clowes' vivisection of young adulthood is not as bloody as the Black Hole's but it is as stark and memorable.
		Clowes, 36, is best known for the scabrous self-effacement seen in the panels of his serial comic Eightball.
		Clowes has never felt the need to cultivate a mainstream audience--more a humble loner's conceit than a pompous dismissal--but his obscurity is about to end.

	Ghost World - Daniel Clowes - Graphic novel review
		The girls are superbly realised, surrounded as they are by a host of caricatures - the extremist teenager who rebels against liberalism, the shy young boy who finds himself at the wrong end of the girls' sexual frustrations, the parents who can't do the right thing and a supporting cast of assorted weirdoes.
		Clowes' artwork is fl and white, but adds green as the go-between.
		At first this seems a bit strange, as the fl on white would be more than sufficient, though the extra colour adds a subtlety of depth that shades the world with a ghostly and atmospheric hue, brining the teenagers' world alive.

	PROFILE / Daniel Clowes / The real world behind 'Ghost World' / The weirdness is all in cartoonist's art
		If Clowes is a dork, it's from the inside out, his geek sensibility being something he shares with those who read him.
		The alternative universe Clowes creates looks mainstream, but from panel to panel to panel, the effect is cumulatively surreal.
		Clowes sees that magazine and the town it covers as a comic book unto itself.

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Has Daniel Clowes Really Grown Up?
		Clowes was born in Chicago on April 14, 1961 -- Jayne Mansfield's 29th birthday -- and studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, even though he considers his college training to have been of little value, offering little technical information.
		Currently, Clowes is coming off a three-year stint working on his longest story to date, a three-issue, 116-page affair called David Boring, the story of a desolate, dysfunctional young man (the kind who always ends up being John Cusack in the movies) dealing with romance and obsession as a nuclear disaster looms on the horizon.
		After all that, one might expect Clowes to be eager to try taking his talents to another, less demanding venue like television, but no, he says, he's still content to sit at his drawing board for the time being.

	HERMENAUT: An Interview with Dan Clowes
		CLOWES: That was sort of the idea, that she was taking that step toward "This is my final look." I tried to make it a hopeful ending, I thought she was going on to do something interesting, certainly more interesting than Rebecca.
		CLOWES: No. I wanted that strip to seem like she was a kid in a candy store, like this was the greatest moment of her life.
		CLOWES: Just the idea that anybody would put himself on the line at all, by adopting an opinion that he's actually serious about, instead of one of these sort of mock-opinions that people seem to have, I think is appealing.

	Ink Nineteen: Daniel Clowes
		These stories serialized in Daniel Clowes Eightball were quite fun, but seem to gain poignancy collected into a single volume.
		Clowes writing and artwork are exceptional, and the storylines in Ghost World are frequently moving, often funny, and terribly real.
		Clowes has populated his stories with real characters who sound like eighteen-year-old girls in real situations that are incredibly mundane, but gut-wrenching and heartbreaking for the characters just the same.

	Ghost World - Daniel Clowes - Review - Instant Classic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Daniel Clowes’s Ghost World has already received more than its fair share of attention in the United States and now, with the film currently in the post-production stages, it looks set to do similar business over here.
		Clowes perfectly captures that unnerving atmosphere of the last summer of childhood, the waiting, the idle hours spent inventing new and more mundane ways to fill the time.
		As the two girls move from bedroom to café to shopping mall, as the trivialities build, as the tragedy of that particular hour reaches its crescendo only to be forgotten in the next, the sense of profundity similarly grows at the back of the readers mind.

	Daniel Clowes
		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").
		Before the Ghost World graphic novel and film propelled Daniel Clowes to international superstardom as the preeminent cartoonist of his generation, his ongoing comic book Eightball was already the most talked-about series of the 1990s.
		Also included is Clowes' hilariously Freudian deconstruction of professional athletes, "On Sports," which caused a stir in San Antonio last year when reprinted in the city's most popular weekly paper, prompting an advertising boycott and demands for the paper to be destroyed by local sports fans.

	Daniel Clowes: mundo fantasmal
		Así, sería sencillo encasillar a Daniel Clowes como una de las voces del, no se me ocurre otro modo de referirlo, tono marciano.
		En cómic, no cabe duda, Clowes es el máximo exponente de esta corriente y es por ello que tan a menudo se tiende a comparársele con otros autores que han experimentado en esa línea.
		Aun así, resulta difícil pensar en alguien más personal que Dan Clowes, cuya carrera parece encarrilada a anunciar viñeta a viñeta y a megáfono limpio lo extraño y desagradable que resulta a veces tener un cuerpo y pasearlo por ahí en estado de estupefacción constante e ininterrumpida.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: Ice Haven by Daniel Clowes
		Daniel Clowes's Ice Haven is another nail in the coffin for the idea that comics are a juvenile diversion, says David Thompson
		Originally published as part of the acclaimed Eightball comic series, Daniel Clowes's Ice Haven finally receives a hardcover format, complete with a faux-explanatory coda and additional ruminations on the nature of pictorial storytelling.
		Another vignette, 'Our Children and their Friends', nods to Peanuts, but Clowes replaces the pulling away of a football and cries of 'oh, good grief!' with a grimmer and more plausible schoolyard anomie.
