Duplex Planet Illustrated

Issues 1-15 of 'Duplex Planet Illustrated'

Fantagraphics Books, 1993-1995

The Duplex Planet is a zine edited and published by David Greenberger since 1979. It contains transcriptions of his interviews with elderly residents at a Boston, Massachusetts, United States, nursing home.

Cartoonist Dan Clowes illustrated material from Duplex Planet in some early issues of his comic book Eightball.

Shortly thereafter, Clowes' publisher Fantagraphics Books began publishing Duplex Planet Illustrated, a comic book featuring adaptations of Duplex Planet material drawn by a variety of alternative comics artists, including Peter Bagge, Drew Friedman, Dan Clowes, Jim Woodring, Chris Ware, and James Kochalka. Duplex Planet Illustrated ran for 15 issues, from 1993–1995. Selections from the comic were published in a trade paperback, No More Shaves - A Duplex Planet Collection, in 2003.
