A startling follow-up graphic novel by the author of Ghost World.

Discover the adventures of David Boring in this electrifying new graphic novel from the author of Ghost World

David Boring is a nineteen-year-old security guard with a tortured inner life and an obsessive nature. When he meets the girl of his dreams, things begin to go awry- what seems too good to be true apparently is, and what seems truest in Boring's life is that, given the right set of circumstances (in this case a sensational cascade of vengeance, humiliation and murder), the primal nature of mankind will come inexorably to the fore.

Reviews for David Boring

Imagine a tilted comic-book homage to Hitchcock's Vertigo, but with religious cults, fetishistic scrapbooks and scenes of underwater coupling * Guardian * For those interested in comic art's potential, Clowes' work offers exciting literary possibilities. Boring is anything but * Time Magazine * Daniel Clowes' underground comics are now a hipster must-have. Why? Because his work is beautifully drawn with subtle, convincing storylines centred on everyday emotional weirdness * Time Out *
