Black Hole -- Graphic Novel

Such an awesome story. The story is set in 1970s Seattle where high schoolers are getting what they call, "the bug", which are genetic mutations caused by a sexually transmitted disease.

The story follows a few specific characters and how it changes their lives. Lots of suspense, reads kind of like a thriller, because there is an underlying mystery throughout the story that doesn't get solved until the very end.

The illustration is very rad, just black and white with lots of high contrast. The illustration and the story seem familiar but looking at Charles Burns' other works, I haven't ready anything else of it.

Grotesque drawings of the mutations, but really sick illustrations and imaginative and pretty crazy idea of what would happen if STDs got out of hand and turned into mutations. There are a few dream scenes that are really well done that I appreciated.
