CLOWES, DANIEL : Like a velvet glove cast in iron
Comic book: 19,5 € (Sold out)
Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron is a graphic novel in English, written and drawn by Daniel Clowes. It follows a rather fantastic and paranoid story line, very different from the stark realism of Clowes' more widely known Ghost World. It contains nightmarish imagery, including dismemberment, deformed people and animals, and sexual fetishism. Like the rest of Clowes' extended works, it originally appeared in serial form in his magazine Eightball.
Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron is the story of a man named Clay Loudermilk and his attempts to locate his estranged wife. For reasons unknown, Clay is in the audience at a porno theatre when he sees a bizarre BDSM feature, the star dominatrix of which is revealed to be his wife. Clay sets out to locate her and becomes embroiled in a series of misadventures involving an incredibly bizarre and varied cast of supporting characters. Clay is victimized by two crazed policemen, meets a religious cult led by a mass-murderer who intend to overthrow the American government, conspiracy theorists who believe that the reins of the world's political power somehow revolve around a series of dimestore novelty figures, an inhumanly malformed, fish-like young woman and her nymphomaniacal mother, and various other freaks and weirdos.

 Yes, Tardi and Crime Noir, a perfect match!
A new noir tale from longstanding French comics writer Jaques Tardi. West Coast Blues is a superb balance of elegant storytelling and emotional complexity, the lead character Gerfaut drawn into a world away from his family and his work, as an act of kindness brings him to the attention of an organised criminal group. The story is one of masculine identity, of the value of homelife and the everyday job in contrast with an idealised life of adventure and danger.
