(June 2010) Eightball Cover of Eightball #8. Publication information Publisher Fantagraphics Schedule Irregular Format Ongoing series Genre Alternative comics Publication date October 1989 – June 2004 Number of issues 23 Creative team Writer(s) Daniel Clowes Artist(s) Daniel Clowes Eightball is an alternative comic book series written and drawn by Daniel Clowes. The first issue was published by Fantagraphics Books in 1989, soon after the end of Clowes's previous comic series, Lloyd Llewellyn. It has consistently been among the best-selling independently authored comics. Early issues of Eightball featured a mixture of very short, often crudely humorous comics ("Zubrick and Pogeybait", "The Sensual Santa"), topical rants and satires ("Art School Confidential", "On Sports"), longer, more reflective self-contained stories ("Caricature", "Immortal Invisible"), and serialized works. The first extended story to be serialized in Eightball was Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron, which ran in issues #1 through 10. Glove was followed by Ghost World (issues #11 through 18). Beginning with #19 each issue of Eightball has been devoted to a single storyline, as opposed to the more eclectic format of the earlier issues. Issues #19 through 21 serialized the graphic novel David Boring, while issues #22 and 23 each consisted of a collection of short, fragmentary stories in diverse styles and formats that meshed into a unified narrative ("Ice Haven" and "The Death Ray", respectively). Also, the issues of Eightball beginning with #19 have been published in full color in a larger magazine-sized format. Eightball #18 included a bound-in copy of Clowes's pamphlet/minicomic Modern Cartoonist.

Tina is recast as a space alien who gives "Clay" a ring of power. 12 Nov - 93 Ghost World, Hippypants and Peace Bear, The Origin of Dan Pussey, Glue Destiny 13 Apr - 94 Ghost World, Buddy Bradley in 'Who Would You Rather Fuck: Ginger or Mary Ann?', Blue Italian Shit, Cool Your Jets, Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine The Buddy Bradley story is based on characters by Peter Bagge. 14 no indicia Ghost World, The Goldmommy, On Sports, The Death of Dan Pussey, The Sensual Santa 15 Apr - 95 Ghost World, Caricature, Feldman The Feldman character makes an appearance in the film 'Ghost World' 16 Nov - 95 Ghost World, Squirrel Girl and Candy Pants, Like a Weed, Joe, MCMLXVI, Immortal Invisible 17 Nov - 95 Ghost World, Black Nylon, Latch-Key Kid, Modern Cartoonist Modern Cartoonist is a pamphlet included with the comic 18 Mar - 97 Ghost World, Squirrel Girl and Candy Pants, Like a Weed, Joe, MCMLXVI, Immortal Invisible 19 May - 98 David Boring, Act I 20 Feb - 99 David Boring, Act 2 21 Feb - 00 David Boring, Act 3 22 Oct - 01 Ice Haven 23 Jun - 04 Death Ray Book collections Lout Rampage!

Additionally, the 2006 Clowes/Zwigoff film Art School Confidential was loosely based on a short story of the same name which appeared in Eightball #7. Controversy The comic generated controversy when a high school teacher in Guilford, Connecticut gave Eightball #22 (Ice Haven) to a student as a make-up summer reading assignment. The parents of the student had concerns about the book's appropriateness. The superintendent of Guilford High School said the book was inappropriate for 13-year-olds and placed the teacher on leave. The teacher resigned before the matter was fully investigated.[1] External links List of all issues of Eightball and their contents Eightball at Fantagraphics - Order and preview Eightball comic books and merchandise from the publisher References ^ Arnott, Christopher (2007-09-27).
