Collection Kim #1

Charles Burns brings his signature woodcut-inflected linework to this Éditions Cornélius collection, where a young blue-haired woman peers intently at a strange, fleshy pink form nestled among bare branches — an image that feels quietly unsettling and utterly arresting in equal measure. Burns' precise, high-contrast style turns even this intimate moment of curiosity into something charged with mystery. A compelling entry point into his work, Caprice Numéro 1 (2023) is a beautifully produced volume for anyone drawn to comics that reward a second look.
