Skin Deep

"The work of Charles Burns is a vision that's both horrifying and hilariously funny, and which he executes with cold, ruthless clarity... It's almost as if the artist... as if he weren't quite..... human!" - R. Crumb

Charles Burns is the Harvey Award-winning cartoonist and illustrator whose work became legendary in Art Spiegelman's Raw magazine. Skin Deep is the third (following El Borbah and Big Baby, also available through Seven Hills) of a hardcover series of four volumes reprinting his acclaimed oeuvre up to his current project, the ongoing Black Hole comic book series.

Skin Deep includes Burns' popular character, Dog Boy, a red-blooded All-American boy with the transplanted heart of a dog, which was turned into a live action segment on MTV's Liquid Television series; new covers and endpapers; as well as several pages of new illustrations from his sketchbooks, as well as covers and other drawings from foreign editions of his work
