«Ice Haven» is the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, published by Reservoir Books in hardcover (96 pages, in Spanish).
In the quiet town of Ice Haven, the kidnapping of a boy, David Goldberg, disrupts the routine of his neighbors and serves as the starting point for a choral tale about human nature. Clowes combines irony, black humor and meticulous drawing to portray everyday pettiness, personal motivations and artistic creation itself.
It belongs to the Reservoir Gráfica collection; the Spanish edition was published in 2006.
A read for fans of adult graphic novels.
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.
