\n \u201cThe best graphic novel of the year\u201d (Time) tells the story of a strange plague devastating the lives of teenagers in mid-1970s suburban Seattle, revealing\u00a0the horrifying nature of high school alienation\u2014the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety, and the ennui. <\/p>\n

We learn from the outset that a strange plague has descended upon the area\u2019s teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact. The disease is manifested in any number of ways\u2014from the hideously grotesque to the subtle (and concealable)\u2014but once you\u2019ve got it, that\u2019s it. There\u2019s no turning back.<\/p>\n

As we inhabit the heads of several key characters\u2014some kids who have it, some who don\u2019t, some who are about to get it\u2014what unfolds isn\u2019t the expected battle to fight the plague, or bring heightened awareness to it , or even to treat it. What we become witness to instead is a fascinating and eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself.<\/p>\n

And then the murders start.<\/p>\n

As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying, Black Hole transcends its genre by deftly exploring a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it\u2014back when it wasn\u2019t exactly cool to be a hippie anymore, but Bowie was still just a little too weird.<\/p>\n

To say nothing of sprouting horns and molting your skin\u2026

\u201cThe best graphic novel of the year\u201d (Time) tells the story of a strange plague devastating the lives of teenagers in mid-1970s suburban Seattle, revealing the horrifying nature of high school alienation. In the second part of an epic masterpiece of graphic horror, our hero, Doug must seeks answers in a nightmarish alternate world that is a distorted mirror of our own. The first volume of an epic masterpiece of graphic fiction in brilliant color from the author of Black Hole: a freaky spectral-fever dream, drawing inspiration from such diverse influences as Herg\u00e9 and William Burroughs. The long, strange trip that began in X’ed Out and continued in The Hive reaches its mind-bending, heartbreaking end, but not before Doug is forced to deal with the lie he’s been telling himself since the beginning. Now in one volume\u2014Charles Burns’s epic graphic trilogy. The long strange trip of Doug in all its mind-bending, heartbreaking totality. <\/p>\n

Customers praise the graphic novel’s clean-lined drawings and find it an engrossing, fun read with a cool concept. The artwork is dark, and one customer describes it as a fascinating work of sequential art. The story receives mixed reactions, with some finding it great while others are disappointed with the climax. The comic content includes copious amounts of explicit nudity, and while some find the characters engaging, others note they lack personality.<\/span><\/p>\n
