Ghost World

The Eightball serialization (Fantagraphics, issues 11 to 18, June 1993 to March 1997) is the true first appearance. The 1997 Fantagraphics limited signed and numbered hardcover (2,500 copies) is the first book edition; the 1998 trade softcover and the later expanded Special Edition and 2001 film tie-in are all separate later issues.
