«Bola Ocho 06» is the sixth issue of the alternative comic «Bola Ocho», by Daniel Clowes, published by La Cúpula in paperback (34 pages, in Spanish).
Collects four stories by Clowes: «Nylon negro», «502», «Como un tallo de hierba, Joe» and «Frankie y Johnnie», all in black and white. Its satirical humor relies on surrealist imagery, as reflected in the profile cover with an open head and a brain full of dreamlike scenes.
Corresponds to issue 6 of the series «Eightball», in the Spanish-language edition by La Cúpula within Brut Comix; published in 2001. The record for this edition gives the subtitle «Nylon negro».
For readers of independent comics and for those seeking the Spanish edition of Clowes's series.
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.
