Dédales

From 2019 to 2023, Charles Burns, with co-writer David Langlet, brought the French publisher Cornélius a haunting, three-issue comic series that explores the labyrinthine corridors of memory and identity. Rendered in Burns’s signature meticulous ink work, Dédales weaves a disquieting, dreamlike narrative where past and present blur, inviting readers into a world as visually precise as it is psychologically unsettling. This brief but potent run stands as a testament to Burns’s continued mastery of the graphic novel form, offering a dense, atmospheric experience that rewards careful reading.
