'Mister Wonderful' Pictures An Imperfect Romance

by Glen Weldon

In a new graphic novel by Daniel Clowes, the hero walks a fine line between charming self-deprecation and worrying scorn as he embarks on a blind date. His neurotic inner thought bubbles literally push away his date's curious chatter on the page, but their tension proves fodder for a real connection

A scene from Mister Wonderful by Daniel Clowes, in which Marshall, the hero of the story, wonders how he could possibly be on a date with such a beautiful woman. Mister Wonderful was previously serialized in the New York Times Magazine.
