Although he’s perhaps best known for Ghost World - a tale of adolescent friendship that he helped adapt into an acclaimed 2001 film - his bibliography is extensive and varied. The writer/artist has been crafting unmistakable stories and artwork for nearly 30 years. Plus, while LaBeouf’s directing career has never taken off, Clowes’s comics work is as vital as it’s ever been.
It’s all died down now, and it’s safe to say that Clowes won in the court of public opinion. A bizarre battle ensued, involving cease-and-desist letters, insincere Twitter apologies, and cryptic skywriting. In 2013, he was revealed to have lifted a story by the venerable cartoonist Dan Clowes and used it, uncredited, in a short film. Say what you will about Shia LaBeouf: When it comes to artistic theft, at least he has good taste in his stolen goods.
