Black Hole

As a huge fan of Charles Burns' excellent EL BORBAH stories, I've always been meaning to check out Black Hole, and now that I've started reading it, i'm happily surprised to find it is a mesmerizing and intriguing tale indeed!

Persepolis

A thoroughly intriguing and captivating tale about the real-life story of a young girl named Marjane Satrapi growing up in a war-torn Iran, her teenage years in France and her return as a young woman to her repressed homelands.

Hard Boiled Defective Stories

Aw Man, Charles Burns' awesome stories of El Borbah, the Wrestling Detective were some of my favorite things about Heavy metal magazine back in the 80's, and when i found out they'd put 'em all together in one cool collection, I knew i just had to have it! Besides the four stories featured in the pages of Heavy Metal, (Robot Love, Dead meat, Living In The Ice Age andBone Voyage) they even featured one I don't remember seeing before, "Love In Vein"!

This is one collection I read and re-read again constantly!!!
