This comic beautifully illustrates the beginning of the tragic "middle period" between being a teenager and an adult, but luckily the jaded, angsty and hilarious observations of Enid and Rebecca have you in stitches the whole time. Although they are already aware of the scam that is adulthood, these two show their vulnerability when faced with the inevitable existential crisis that having to grow up presents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clowes' masterpiece.
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 1997
Clowes has only done a few stories of any
length (I barely want to call Like a Velvet Glove
Cast in Iron a story, it's far too surreal and
detatched -- and then that would leave what, the amateurish Lloyd Llewellyn stories -- and what else? ), but of them Ghost World is his best. Two teenage girls who do everything
together make fun of everyone else and
occasionally deal with some more substantial
personal troubles. Like all of his work, it's
mostly a vehicle for Clowes' own views and
criticisms, but there's a tenderness to these
connected stories that's absent from his more ferocious shorter pieces, which makes his violent
opinions a bit easier to swallow. If you find that
most of what's in Eightball (his serial comic, which is always recommendable and of an inhumanly consistent quality) to be maybe too spiteful or harsh, (personally, I don't) Ghost World might be more to your liking. The best
overview of his short strips is probably Lout
Rampage, but any issue of Eightball would do

5.0 out of 5 stars Colori pop e psichedelico molto accattivanti, storia meravigliosa.
Reviewed in Italy on February 25, 2019

Un cult del fumetto moderno, beffardo ed amaro spaccato di una generazione indolente in un mondo fantasma.
Questa edizione presenta una copertina stupenda e coloratissima, la copertina è flessibile, solo un piccolo angolo sulla destra in alto risulta leggermente "spellato", ma con una goccia di vinavil ho risolto. L'interno presenta sorprendentemente un verde acido psichedelico che ho adorato (ricordavo l'edizione in nero e celeste), lingua inglese, è presente qui e lì dello slang ma in linea generale il testo è comprensibilissimo se si ha un livello medio di inglese.
Direi che il prezzo è più che buono per questo gioiellino.
Consiglio a chi non lo avesse visto il film omonimo che ne è stato tratto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imprescindible
Reviewed in Spain on May 1, 2016

Daniel Clowes es un referente en el mundo del cómic, un maestro de la narrativa por medio de una ilustración que combina con excelencia el realismo y, en cierto modo, la caricatura, con un guión agudo y un humor negro delicioso. "Ghost World" se ha convertido por mérito propio en un clásico imprescindible.

Recomendable para quienes quieran adentrarse en el mundo de la novela gráfica.
