Starting as an indie comic series by acclaimed graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, '''''Ghost World''''' appeared in ''[[Eightball]]'' #11-18 (June, 1993-March, 1997). It was later adapted into an equally acclaimed indie film, which was released in 2001. Both versions follow [[Deadpan Snarker|Deadpan Snarkers]] Enid Coleslaw and Rebecca Doppelmeyer as they face the summer after high school graduation. The film cast [[Thora Birch]] as Enid and [[Scarlett Johansson]] as Rebecca.
While conceptually similar, the comic and film differ in their featured characters. The character of Josh, an alienated friend (and quasi-love interest) of Enid's (and Rebecca's), plays a major role in the comic, while only being a side character in the film. Seymour, a lonely and cynical middle-aged man is a central character in the film, yet only appears for a few panels in the comic, a victim of one of Enid's pranks.
