Wilson By Daniel Clowes

I was in London for work on Friday so I popped into Gosh comics and picked up some nice limited edition books. One of my purchases was Wilson by Daniel Clowes.

Wilson is the first 'original' graphic novel by Clowes, 'original' in that it was not initially published in a serialised form like 'ghost world' or 'david boring'. It's well drawn and it presents the central character, Wilson, well. Wilson is a bit of a loser, opinionated but well meaning. The book follows his life over several years.

Wilson is a character sketch. It's well realised but it doesn't really change the world. You can read it in less than an hour.
