But writer and artist Daniel Clowes considers these eighteen issues, which Fantagraphics Books published from 1989 to 1997, as the comic’s true run. Fantagraphics has republished various stories from Eightball as stand-alone graphic novels through the years, and published a now out-of-print two-volume hardback collection of the series in 2015. The recently-published The Complete Eightball 1-18 is a monster 528-page trade paperback collection that includes every page of the first eighteen issues of the ground-breaking and influential alternative comic with its original B&W and color artwork, as well as each issue’s letters page, product advertising, and often-enticing cover artwork.
