Both versions of the story are annotated - the screenplay originally came annotated, but the notes for the GN are brand new - so you can find out little tidbits about where some of the names came from and where Clowes stands on the real Weird Al (hint: he’s Pro-). The Special Edition includes the original graphic novel, the screenplay for the film (likewise available separately, although I think it MIGHT be out of print now), and loads of original artwork and related materials. But, for your 40 dollars (opposed to the 10 or so of the standard edition) you get a pretty awesome package. If you’re not - well, you should be! And the Special Edition is a pretty good way to get familiar, albeit a relatively pricey way. I’m thinking that most of the people who’d be reading this are already familiar with Ghost World, either Dan Clowes‘ comic or the Terry Zwigoff film.
