''Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron'' is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Daniel Clowes. The book follows a rather fantastic and paranoid plot, very different from the stark realism of Clowes' later more widely known ''Ghost World''. It contains nightmarish imagery, including dismemberment, deformed people and animals, and sexual fetishism. Clowes has talked about how the story was inspired by his dreams, as well as a recurring dream of his ex-wife's: The book's title is a quote from the Russ Meyer film ''Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!''〔Shiner, Lewis. ("The Role of Compassion in Daniel Clowes' ''Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron''," ) ''Sitcom'' (1995).〕 (The full line, as delivered by Lori Williams, is "You're cute, like a velvet glove cast in iron. And like a gas chamber, Varla, a real fun gal.") == Publication history == Like many of Clowes' extended works, ''Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron'' originally appeared in serial form in his comic book ''Eightball'' (issues #1–#10, 1989–1993) but has been reprinted as a trade paperback. The opening panels of later chapters of the story were presented in color when originally published in ''Eightball''. When collected in trade paperback form, the chapters of the story were given names, and a table of contents was added to reflect this. ''Velvet Glove'' has since been reprinted many times, and is currently in its sixth edition. The book has also been translated into Japanese, French,〔''Comme un gant de velours pris dans la fonte'' (Cornélius, 2000)〕 Spanish,〔''Como un guante de seda forjado en hierro'' (Public Square Books, 2006) ISBN 978-1-59497-195-2.〕 and Greek.〔''Σαν Σιδερένιο Ομοίωμα Γαντιού από Βελούδο'' (Inkpress/Kormoranos, 2009) ISBN 978-960-89659-2-8.〕 The French edition was nominated for the 2000 Angoulême International Comics Festival Prize for Best Album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
