Requirements: CBR Reader, 215 MB.
Overview: A Serialized Reprinting of Chester Brown's First Graphic Novel.

Ed the Happy Clown is a fictional character by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown. Ed is a large-headed, childlike children's clown who undergoes one horrifying affliction after another. The Ed the Happy Clown story in which he appears is a dark, humorous mix of genres and features scatological humour, sex, body horror, extreme graphic violence, and blasphemous religious imagery. Central to the plot are a man who cannot stop defecating; the head of a miniature, other-dimensional Ronald Reagan attached to the head of Ed's penis; and a female vampire who seeks revenge on her adulterous lover who had murdered her to escape his sins.

The dark, surreal, and largely improvised story began with a series of unrelated short strips that Brown went on to tie into a single narrative. Originally serialized in Brown's comic book Yummy Fur, the story was first collected by Vortex Comics in 1989 in an incomplete volume called Ed the Happy Clown: A Yummy Fur Book. Brown became unsatisfied with the direction of the serial and brought it to an abrupt end in the eighteenth issue of Yummy Fur, for the following few years focusing on autobiographical comics. A second edition titled Ed the Happy Clown: The Definitive Ed Book appeared in 1992 with an altered ending and most of the later parts of the series eliminated. The contents of this edition were re-serialized with extensive endnotes in 2005–2006 as a nine-issue Ed the Happy Clown series and collected as Ed the Happy Clown: A Graphic Novel in 2012.

The story is seen as a highlight of the 1980s alternative comics scene in North America. Its influence has been felt on contemporary alternative cartoonists such as Daniel Clowes, Seth, and Dave Sim, and has won a Harvey and other awards. Canadian film director Bruce McDonald has had the rights since 1991 to make an Ed movie, but the project has struggled to get financial backing.

Published by Drawn & Quarterly. 2005-2006.


Brown grew up in Châteauguay, Quebec, a Montreal suburb with a large English-speaking minority. He was an introverted youth attracted to comic books from a young age. He aimed at a career drawing superhero comics, but was unsuccessful in getting work with Marvel or DC Comics after graduating from high school. He moved to Toronto and discovered underground comix and the small-press community.

By the early 1980s Marvel and DC had come to dominate comic-book publishing in North America, and comic shops became the main places of purchase, dealing to a specialized audience. During this time, a trend towards greater ambition and expressiveness was developing on the fringes, such as Dave Sim's long Cerebus series and the avant-garde graphics magazine Raw in which the serialization of Art Spiegelman's graphic novel Maus appeared. Brown was to find himself in the alternative comics scene that grew throughout the decade.

Brown felt himself in a creative rut when he came across a book on Surrealism: Wallace Fowley's The Age of Surrealism (1950). The book motivated Brown to work on an improvised minicomic series which he called Yummy Fur and self-published from 1983.
