Fantagraphics has been teasing something new from Daniel Clowes for a few weeks and now and here's the official word: Patience, a new 180-page graphic novel from Clowes is coming in March 2016. It's described as "an indescribable psychedelic science-fiction love story." Certainly the art seems like a technicolor throwback to some of Clowes earlier genre-influenced work, as well as The Death Ray.
