About this title: Beyond surreal and bordering on the indescribable, Velvet Glove is a perfectly-executed serial of the strange and macabre, held together with a rigorous dream-logic only Clowes could conjure. Couched within a detective genre structure and rich with recurring motifs and repeated imagery, the plot follows Clay Loudermilk as he searches for a former ...

"When I began reading this, I had no idea it was going to take a turn into the surreal. Being an earlier work, the drawing style isn't as refined as David Boring,Ghost World, etc etc., but it's still beautiful. Reading this gives you the same feeling watching Blue Velvet might. It's wildly unpleasant and unsettling, its violence is wince-inducing. If you want a break from becoming emotionally invested in any characters and just want to have an icky (in the best way possible) experience, read it."
"This is without a doubt Daniel Clowes's finest hour, bursting with daring and originality. He is able to evoke the dystopic, dreamlike visions of David Lynch without benefit of motion, sound, or a giant screen."
"What I learned from this book? Nothing, but I did pen some of my own stories and made some herbal tea afterwards. The relevance of my comments on this book can be found on page 34. My trips are always of the artsy post-modern kind."
