| ProfessionalHistory
| - ==OK Soda==
In 1993 and 1994, Clowes created artwork for Coca Cola’s Generation X-inspired beverage OK Soda, which was test-marketed in select American cities in 1994 and 1995 and then discontinued. His art appeared on cans, bottles, twelve-pack cases, posters, vending machines, and other merchandise, along with point-of sale display items. Clowes’s art appears on two cans/bottles , though he is often incorrectly credited for other OK can art.

Comic books
* Lloyd Llewellyn #1-#6 and a special .
* Eightball #1-#23 .
Graphic novels
* Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron . Clowes’s first graphic novel, this volume collects ten chapters serialized in Eightball #1-10. A surreal narrative partially based on Clowes’s dreams, it tells the story of Clay Loudermilk, an alienated young man who searches for his ex-wife after seeing her in a fetish film.
* Pussey!: The Complete Saga of Young Dan Pussey . This collection features Dan Pussey stories that first appeared in Eightball. A satire of the superhero comics industry, it chronicles the life of the title character from his boyhood dreams of being a famous comic-book artist, to success drawing superhero stories, and finally to a rapid fall into obscurity.
* Ghost World . This graphic novel collects the Ghost World chapters from Eightball #11-18. On the first paperback edition’s back cover, Clowes includes a brief synopsis: “Ghost World is the story of Enid and Rebecca, teenage friends facing the unwelcome prospect of adulthood and the uncertain future of their complicated relationship.” The cartoonist’s breakthrough and best-selling work, it has been translated into seventeen languages.
* David Boring . This volume collects David Boring Acts 1-3 from Eightball #19-21. The comic’s elaborately plotted narrative explores the title character’s search for the perfect woman and his effort to learn about his missing father.
* Ice Haven . First appearing in Eightball #22, Ice Haven was revised and reformatted for the 2005 collection, with new chapters and redrawn art. Featuring a fictional Midwestern town and a large cast of main characters, the story centers on David Goldberg’s kidnapping and the strained interactions of the town’s inhabitants.
*Wilson . Wilson is Clowes’s first non-serialized graphic novel. Set in Oakland, California , it tells the story of Wilson, a confrontational misanthrope who desires a deep connection with other people, but whose aggressive interpersonal style thwarts such relationships.
*Mister Wonderful . Called “a midlife romance” by Clowes, this volume is an expanded and reformatted collection of a story first serialized in The New York Times Sunday Magazine in 2007 and 2008. It won a 2008 Eisner Award for Best Short Story for the serialized version.
*The Death-Ray . Clowes’s long-form superhero story, The Death-Ray first appeared in Eightball #23. A formally complex narrative, it recounts the story of Andy, who acquires super-powers and a death ray that he uses, according to the back cover, “in defense of the righteous.”
Anthologies
* #$@&!: The Official Lloyd Llewellyn Collection . Clowes’s first anthology, this paperback volume collects thirteen stories from the seven Lloyd Llewellyn comics.
* Lout Rampage! . This paperback includes stories from Eightball #1-6, along with strips Clowes created for alternative comics anthologies Blab!, Young Lust, and Weirdo.
* The Manly World of Lloyd Llewellyn: A Golden Treasury of His Complete Works . Clowes’s only hardcover anthology, this volume collects all of the Llewellyn stories from the seven Lloyd Llewellyn comics, early Eightball issues, Love & Rockets #13, and elsewhere.
