«Como un guante de seda forjado en hierro» is the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, published by Ediciones La Cúpula in paperback (148 pages, in Spanish).
Clay Loudermilk investigates a snuff film and ventures into a dreamlike reality populated by grotesque characters: sadistic policemen, a woman with a mutant daughter, a dog with no orifices, and a charismatic cult leader. The narrative advances with black humour and an unsettling atmosphere.
Collects the ten chapters of Eightball. Third edition, with translation by Francisco Pérez Navarro and Cristina Macía Orío.
For graphic novel readers fond of black humour and unsettling stories, and for fans of Daniel Clowes.
Daniel Gillespie Clowes is an American cartoonist, graphic novelist, illustrator, and screenwriter. Most of Clowes's work first appeared in Eightball, a solo anthology comic book series. An Eightball issue typically contained several short pieces and a chapter of a longer narrative that was later collected and published as a graphic novel, such as Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron (1993), Ghost World (1997), David Boring (2000) and Patience (2016). Clowes's illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, Newsweek, Vogue, The Village Voice, and elsewhere. With filmmaker Terry Zwigoff, Clowes adapted Ghost World into a 2001 film and another Eightball story into the 2006 film, Art School Confidential. Clowes's comics, graphic novels, and films have received numerous awards, including a Pen Award for Outstanding Work in Graphic Literature, over a dozen Harvey and Eisner Awards, and an Academy Award nomination.
