No ghosts in Ghost World

Ghost World by Dan Clowes

Collecting the comic strips serialised in Dan Clowes Eightball, Ghost World is an examination of two friends ,Enid and Rebecca, whom have recently graduated from high school.

The stories deal with the protagonist's lives before they separate to carry on with their individual lives. You see characters come of age, do teenage stuff, like gossiping and playing pranks. It is facsinating, in a voyeuristic way.

The illustrations are simple and easy to understand with the colouring mostly a pale blue.
