Ghost World by Daniel Clowes is a bittersweet, deadpan portrait of teenage drift and disillusionment. Set in a bland suburban landscape, it follows best friends Enid and Rebecca as they stumble through the awkward space between high school and adulthood—armed with sarcasm, thrift-store cool, and a sharp eye for hypocrisy. Clowes captures the alienation and weird humor of youth with minimalist art, biting dialogue, and moments of quiet heartbreak. Both hilarious and haunting, Ghost World is a cult classic of graphic storytelling—a snapshot of friendship, identity, and the strange, lonely beauty of growing up and moving on.
