The first extended story serialized in Eightball was "Like a Velvet Glove Cast in Iron", which ran in issues #1 through 10. Glove was followed by "Ghost World" (issues #11-18). Beginning with #19 each issue has been devoted to a single storyline, as opposed to the more eclectic format of the earlier issues. Issues #19-21 serialized the graphic novel "David Boring", while issues #22 and 23 each consisted of a collection of short, fragmentary stories in diverse styles and formats that meshed into a unified narrative ("Ice Haven" and "The Death Ray"). The issues of "Eightball" beginning with #19 have been published in full color in a larger magazine-sized format. Issue #18 included a bound-in copy of Clowes' pamphlet "Modern Cartoonist."
