| 1. Black Hole | 
|
By: Charles Burns
Publisher: Pantheon
January 08, 2008
Since Amazon and fellow reviewers have done a great job at describing the story and art, I don't even feel my review is necessary but I HAD to add my stars and few brief words. The art is exceptional, fantastic use of negative space. The concept almost reminds me of Uzumaki, how an entire community is taken in by the 'holes', and the nothingness swallows them all.

By: Upton Sinclair
Publisher: Penguin Classics

I first read this book about 8 years ago in a High School history class. Since then I have read it twice and I did a college thesis on it; it is one of my favorite books.

By: Charles Burns
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
August 29, 2009
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1Y3I0NCZZ49SO This comic book is entertaining just to read, but it also makes a good conversation piece for the coffee table. The artwork is not flashy and colorful like most of the modern graphic novels you could buy from more mainstream artists, but it has a very cool retro 50's sort of feel to it.
In my video I read to you five pages... more

| 9. Big Baby |
|
By: Charles Burns
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
February 14, 2007
I've never read a bad comic by Charles Burns; The art is incredible and his storytelling is subtle, smart, and engaging. I consider him one of the top five cartoonists working today (Dan Clowes, R. Crumb, Adrienne Tomine, and Chris Ware being the others) and "Big Baby" is another fine example of his talent. As always with contemporary comic books, it's a bit expensive for about a half hour of reading... more
