I confess I love Charles Burns' weird comic art. The piece above is a B&W version of the cover from "Black Hole" comic magazine No. 4 posted on the blog
Accidental Mysteries. I have most, if not all, of Burns' comics still (there aren't very many). And, I loved the work he did in 1991 for the ballet "The Hard Nut," commissioned by choreographer Mark Morris
(a funny take on Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker"). Burns has worked with some of my favorite comic book publishers:
Kitchen Sink Press and
Fantagraphics Books. I met Charles Burns once at one of San Diego's Comic Conventions. He was nice and seemed much more normal than one would expect from his art.
