A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art returns! New edition, 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. If you think Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons is pathetic (and hilarious), wait 'til you read Pussey!… (más)

Hassuhko satiiri amerikkalaisesta sarjakuvabisneksestä. ( )
  Sbikh | Feb 13, 2011 |
While bitter and acerbic to a fault, Pussey! retains Daniel Clowes' familiar strains of humor and pathos, and in the end it all comes together well.

You almost have to be fascinated by the world of comics creators to get into this one, but the reward is there if you were a high school nerd (or any other type of youthful misfit), so the potential audience for Pussey! may not be as narrow as it seems at first blush.

The narrative arc takes our hero from teenage wannabe to world-class success, and then on to geriatric anonymity, and even if the overall story is a bit cliched, Clowes infuses it all with enough of his acerbic wit and exaggerated, cartoony art to deliver a worthwhile experience for the reader. ( )

I've liked some of Clowes' work, but you can give this one a miss; a graphic novel about being a graphic novelist, exploited and corrupted by the system; unattractive, caricatured characters, and not really sure if he was satirising his own experience or some received wisdom about how the industry works.
