Plot Summary
Orgy Bound contains 36 brief stories from the early issues of Clowes's Eightball comic book series. You will not find an angrier or more disturbing collection of short stories anywhere in comics--with the possible exception of R. Crumb's mid-period work. Early in his career, Clowes perfected the "angry young man" aesthetic to an almost alarming degree, and Orgy Bound contains the absolute best examples of his rage in comic book form.

My Own 2 Cents
Highly recommended, particularly for the 20-something male--but with obvious caveats.
