Finally got around to seeing
Ghost World last night. Based on the comic book by
Daniel Clowes, it's a fine example of what the comics industry has to offer Hollywood beyond spandex and leather-clad superheroes. Sure, superheroes dominate the
box office chart for comic book adaptations, but movies like
From Hell and
Road to Perdition make respectable showings, and can bring in a completely different audience, oblivious to the movies' comic book origins. (And how many movies can match Ghost World's
92% Fresh rating on the
Tomatometer?)

Well, somewhere in the opening or closing credits I'm sure it says "Based on the graphic novel by Daniel Clowes," but I didn't catch it.
By the way, the full name of Thora Birch's character in Ghost World -- Enid Coleslaw -- is an anagram of Daniel Clowes.
