DESCRIPTION:
pretygrrl said Disturbing and fresh. I am looking at the 1,000+ books on my shelves and do not see a single one that is more disturbing, and moving, than Like A Velvet Glove.

About the Author Daniel Clowes is a celebrated graphic novelist, Academy-Award nominated screenwriter, and frequent cover artist for the New Yorker. He lives in Oakland, CA. He is a multi-Harvey, Eisner, and Ignatz Award winner, and his papers were recently acquired by the University of Chicago library.
This is a redesigned reprint of Daniel Clowes’s early, unsettling graphic novel. Clay Loudermilk stumbles into a screening of a bizarre snuff film that wraps him up in a mystery surrounding a series of cult-inspired killings, dubbed “The Harum Scarum Murders.” The subsequent path Loudermilk’s life takes is both a terrifying journey into madness and jaw-dropping tour-de-force of visual imagination fraught with psychosexual and conspiratorial tension. Black & white illustrations throughout.
