glamourpuss is an independent comic book written and illustrated by Canadian artist Dave Sim. Sim promises that the comic will ship promptly bimonthly, with 24 pages of story and art. Back issues will remain available throughout the comic's printrun, at which time an all-in-one trade paperback will be made available (the series collected in one volume upon completion).[1]

The premise of the book is threefold: a parody of fashion magazines, a history of photorealism in comic books, and a surreal super-heroine comic.[2]
