Material about Clowes                                                                                                                

This section includes material about Daniel Clowes, such as books, features, reviews, interviews, online interviews, and
select mentions. Nearly all interviews and features use illustrations from his work. Most features include excerpts from
interviews done specifically for that article. For a key to abbreviations, go
here.

Note on links: Several are dead - I have kept them in the interest of 'historical completeness' and because some of
the interviews might be found by searching for the url via the Internet Archive site.
