Zwart gat

Charles Burns' Zwart gat is a Dutch-language edition of his acclaimed graphic novel Black Hole, published in a single volume by Oog & Blik in 2013. This stark, haunting work follows a group of Seattle teenagers in the 1970s as a mysterious sexually transmitted disease mutates their bodies in surreal and grotesque ways. Burns' meticulous, crosshatched black-and-white art and unsettling body horror elevate it into a landmark of independent comics, capturing adolescent alienation with unflinching precision.
