Professional Reviews |
| Professional Reviews | Village Voice: "The surface of Glamorama is all-important and as deftly fashioned as the latest Prada heel. This is a world where parties are judged by the guest list, emotions are drugged away, and conversation, baby, had best include at least one insanely specific pop-culture reference per sentence lest someone catch you without your irony. Ellis captures this scene in all its superficial brilliance, his ear for snappy patter simultaneously reproducing and mocking it." |

| Publisher's Note | "Specks--specks all over the third panel, see?--no, that one--the second one up from the floor and I wanted to point this out to someone yesterday but a photo shoot intervened and Yaki Nakamari or whatever the hell the designer's name is--a master craftsman NOT--mistook me for someone else so I couldn't register the complaint, but, gentlemen--and ladies--there they are: SPECKS, annoying, tiny specks, and they don't look accidental but like they were somehow done by a machine--so I don't want a lot of description, just the story, streamlined, no frills, the lowdown: who, what, where, when and don't leave out why, though I'm getting the distinct impression by the looks on your sorry faces that WHY won't get answered--now, come on, goddamnit, what's the story?" |
