Eightball: Like a Velvet
Glove Cast in Iron

by Daniel Clowes
Never thought you'd see this again, did you? Back for the first time in years - with a brand-new design - Daniel Clowes masterpiece of surrealistic and cinematic low-life drama is better than ever! Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron collects all 10 chapters of Eightball's terrifying and fascinating journey into madness. As Clay Loudermilk attempts to unravel the mysteries behind a snuff film, he finds himself involved with an increasingly bizarre cast of characters, including a pair of sadistic cops who carve a strange symbol into the heel of Clay's foot; a horny over-the-hill suburban woman whose sexual encounter with a mysterious water creature produced a grotesquely misshapen, but no less horny, mutant daughter; a dog with no orifices whatsoever (it has to be fed by injection); two ominous victims of extremely bad hair implants; a charismatic Manson-like cult leader who plans to kidnap a famous advice columnist and many more! This edition has a brand-new cover, new title and end pages. Plus, being the perfectionist that Clowes is, there are tweaked and re-drawn panels that really make this a transcendent piece of storytelling art!
