Review
The work of Charles Burns is a vision that's both horrifying and hilariously funny, and which quite..... human! --R. Crumb
Synopsis
Following El Borbah and Big Baby in this exclusive reprinting of Burns's lifelong work, Skin Deep includes Burns' popular and perhaps most famous character, Dog Boy, which became a live action segment on MTV's Liquid Television series in 1991. Featuring artwork that is highly influenced by 1950s graphic art and an endless stream of b-grade horror films, these strips look for a kernel of darkness at the heart of popular culture and society in quintessential Burns fashion. This exclusive edition also features new covers and endpapers, new illustrations from his sketchbook, and covers and illustrations from foreign editions of his work.
