Charles Burns ha iniziato la lavorazione di "Black Hole" nel 1994, proseguendo poi per dieci anni. Disegnato in un bianco e nero fortemente contrastato, la Coconino ripropone questo moderno classico in una nuova edizione: il libro racconta di un'epidemia che si propaga tra gli adolescenti, trasmettendosi per via sessuale (metafora scoperta dell'Aids) e causando diverse mutazioni fisiche. La gravita del male, l'esclusione crescente subita dalle vittime si manifestano attraverso un'atmosfera di palpabile frenesia sessuale. Collegando horror e sessualità, Burns porta alle estreme conseguenze le difficoltà legate alla scoperta del corpo altrui, in un percorso che rimanda a quelli del regista canadese David Cronenberg.

    da wikipedia eng:
    "It was published as a 12-issue comic book limited series between 1995 and 2005. [...] A compiled hardcover volume was released by Pantheon Books in 2005. This collected edition, however, lacks many pages that were included in the first publication- the ones that showed some characters' faces. These pages are considered by some critics to be essential."
    Credo che la Coconino abbia tradotto proprio quest'ultima versione.
