Black Hole: Review
Burns's artwork is amazing, the detail that he was able to achieve using only
black ink was fantastic. It took him a decade to finish these stories before compiling them into a novel, and the fact that he was able to achieve this level of consistency is impressive. I should have read this book while I
was still in high school, as it would have affected me a lot more profoundly,
instead of just making me feel nostalgic. The overwhelming sexual
imagery all throughout the book provided a more realistic glimpse into
the mind of a teenager. The dream sequences are filled with Freudian imagery
and the sicknesses themselves seem to be a manifestation of the revenge
of the repressed. All in all I thought this book was extremely
entertaining and beautifully illustrated. Definitely a thought provoking
and disturbing piece of graphic literature
