You knew it was coming, and now it's here:  Fantagraphics has collected the long out-of-print first eighteen "comic book" issues* of the series that saved Dan Clowes's life while entertaining and enlightening a generation of comics readers (and creators!).  This slipcased set of two hardcover volumes, reproduces each issue in facsimile form exactly as they were originally published.  There are over 450 pages of classic Clowes comics here, along with a smattering of new material in the form of notes, cover images and a tad more.

* Issues 19 through 21 comprise David Boring, which has been long available in book form; #22 became Ice Haven and #23 became The Death-Ray, both of which are currently in-print in book form.
