CHARLES BURNS
u003cpu003e u003c/pu003e Since 2000, master cartoonist Charles Burns (Black Hole) has been selfpublishing a secret, handmade sketchbook zine titled Free S**t that he gives out exclusively to friends and VIPs. For the first time, Burns has compiled all twenty-five issues into a single pocket-sized volume for all of his fans to enjoy. Burnss work lies at the juncture of fiction and memory, of cheap thrills and horror. Featuring finished drawings, rough sketches, process pieces, and more, the book is a window into the artists id as well as a revealing behind-thescenes look at how characters and motifs in acclaimed works like Black Hole and Last Look have evolved.
