20th Century Eightball collects the very best humor strips from Eightball, written and drawn between 1988 and 1996. Included within are such seminal strips/rants as "I Hate You Deeply," "Sexual Frustration," "Ugly Girls," "Why I Hate Christians," "Message to the People of the Future," "Paranoid," "My Suicide," "Chicago," and over three dozen more. Other favorites include "Art School Confidential," one of Clowes' most popular strips of all-time: it was recently optioned as a major motion picture by Drew Barrymore, with a screenplay by Ghost World's Clowes and Terry Zwigoff. Also included is Clowes' hilariously Freudian deconstruction of professional athletes, "On Sports," which caused a stir in San Antonio last year when reprinted in the city's most popular weekly paper, prompting an advertising boycott and demands for the paper to be destroyed by local sports fans.

Daniel Gillespie Clowes
Muito do trabalho de Clowes apareceu pela primeira vez em sua antologia de quadrinhos Eightball, que contou com narrativas auto-suficientes e em séries. Todas as narrativas em séries foram publicadas como graphic novels, mais notavelmente Ghost World(Mundo Fantasma). Com o cineasta Terry Zwigoff, Clowes adaptou Ghost World no filme homônimo de 2001, e ele também adaptou outra história da Eightball para filme, Art School Confidential, em 2006.
