Sinossi
Skin deep - Sottopelle appartiene a una serie di tre volumi (insieme a El Borbah e Big Baby) che precede l'opera Black Hole. Skin deep è una raccolta di storie brevi che raccontano il male oscuro che cova sotto la superficie levigata del perbenismo americano. Burns racconta di Dog Boy, ragazzo con il cuore trapiantato di un cane, di cui assume alcune caratteristiche; del predicatore Bliss Blister, che forse porta la parola del Signore, ma forse doni più inquietanti; e di altri personaggi le cui avventure abitano il confine tra l'assurdo e l'horror.

I love the monster Kid, Mexican wrestling, Twilight Zone, imaginary early '60s, sick, slightly off, David Cronenbergesque biological mutation, science fiction, psychedelic world that Charles Burns creates in his work. These are three stories from his Big Baby strip loosely linked together, a kind of Leggi tutto
Burns says, It's a cold, cruel world. For things like dog-boy and Bliss Blister, it really is. It's like taking that extra bean you found on the floor of the club, only to realize your hair is now symmetrical H R Giger tentacles and the world you live in is controlled by an angry, one-eyed GAWD who d Leggi tutto
This graphic novel is another classic by Burns. This time using his name to burn a story skin deep into our skulls. "Burn Again" and "Marriage from Hell" are sizzling masterpieces.
Another great book from Burns. This is the last of I've read of what I think of as his Red Trilogy. I just love the whole world he has created within these stories. There is something so fun about an artist taking our own world, and twisting it to suit their fiction. I'd NEVER want to live in a worl Leggi tutto
It’s great seeing Burn’s style in service of something a little more silly. This whole thing was a banger, now I’m a certified Burns fan. His art is so great, and my god the inking is absolutely perfect.
Skin Deep ne fait que reaffirmer ce que j'ai écrit précedemment dans les autres revues sur Charles Burns: ma grande (re)découverte de 2023. Une année ou je me delecte - enfin!, en découvrant les œuvres de grande envergure de Burns. Scenarios et dessins époustouflants. La grande dose au carré quoi! Leggi tutto
'Skin Deep' Tres historias cortas sobre esquizofrenia, terror paranoico, divinidades encolerizadas, hombres con corazón de perro, matrimonios falsos (estética de los años cuarenta) y fuego, muchos fuego.
Charles Burns is a giant of the medium. His books never disappoint and this one is no exception. My favourite material of his was the Black Hole series but this ranks in amongst his best work. In my mind Burns can be mentioned in the same breath as Daniel Clowes, Chester Brown, Seth, and Chris Ware. Leggi tutto
