Review: Charles Burns' SUGAR SKULL

SUGAR SKULL
PANTHEON BOOKS – @PantheonBooks @AAKnopf @doubledaypub

CARTOONIST: Charles Burns
ISBN: 978-0-307-90790-5; hardcover (September 16, 2014)
64pp, Color, $23.00 U.S.

Charles Burns is the American cartoonist and illustrator best known for his graphic novel, Black Hole, which was originally published as a comic book series, first by Kitchen Sink Press, and finally by Fantagraphics Books.  His comics short stories have been collected in such book collections as Big Baby and Skin Deep.

His most recent comics work is a graphic novel trilogy that began in X'ed Out and continued in The Hive and now, comes to an end in Sugar Skull.  The long strange trip of a guy named Doug comes to an end that is both mind-bending and heart-wrenching (or pathetic, depending on how you look at it).

In X’ed Out, Burns introduces Doug, a photographic artist who has a head injury of some kind.  One night, he awakens and sees his cat, Inky, who is supposed to be dead.  Doug follows Inky through a hole torn in a brick wall, where he discovers a place called The Hive.  This place is likely an alternate reality that has been induced by the trauma Doug experienced and by the prescription medications he uses.  In the Hive, Doug's persona becomes that of “Johnny,” a version of Nitnit, his performance art alter-ego.

In The Hive, Doug begins working in that nightmarish alternate world as a lowly employee who carts supplies around the Hive.  He also strikes up a friendship with a breeder named Suzy, and that new relationship is almost like another Doug previously had.  Meanwhile, back in reality, Doug slowly transforms from an ambitious young artist into a guy who merely drifts through life, bereft of his hopes and dreams.

As Sugar Skull begins, Doug-as-Johnny is back in the the Hive.  After a troubling encounter with a sow-life creature and her thing-lets, he reunites with a his Hive-chick, Suzy.  However, she is about to undergo a bodily function that disturbs and freaks-out Johnny.  Meanwhile, back in reality, Doug is now fully a lost and ambivalent man, but he lives with Sally, a woman who clearly loves him

Doug has regrets and questions.  What does the Hive represent?  What happened to him? Where is his former girlfriend, Sarah?  As he digs for answers, he seeks out Sarah, who has a surprise for him.  We also finally learn how Doug received the head injury that has put his reality into a crazy, mind-bending, dream/nightmare loop.

I have enjoyed Charles Burns' trilogy of graphic novels.  [I don't know whether to call this “The Hive trilogy” or the “X'ed Out trilogy” or even the “Nitnit trilogy.”]  I like the publishing format for these comic books:  hardcover, large-sized at 8.9 x 11.8 (which is similar to a French album or graphic novel), with a cloth-covered spine and beautifully illustrated end papers.

I found X'ed Out to be especially intriguing and captivating; I could not help but be taken in by the mystery and reality-warping, which seemed straight out of a David Lynch movie.  The Hive was vague and sometimes seemed like filler material, which can be a problem with the middle installment of a trilogy.  I was somewhat frustrated with it.

Four years after I read X'ed Out, Sugar Skull rewards my patience.  Suddenly, the answers pour forth, and they will break your heart.  For all the surrealism of much of story prior to the final volume, this ending is surprisingly human.  Burns depicts the melancholy nature of a promising life that has decided to settle for the mundane.

This trilogy operates on so many levels and layers, and Doug and perhaps a few other characters exist in different persona.  Time, symbolism, and metaphor exist in multiple layers.  Sugar Skull is more grounded than the other books.  It forces reality and consequence, even in the alternate reality.  A “sugar skull” or calavera is a representation of the human skull made out of clay or sugar and is used in the Mexican celebration, Day of the Dead (which takes place over three days beginning on October 31st).

Is Doug dead?  Is he an unreliable narrator?  I don't think that Doug is a deceased character, who is narrating the last of his life.  Rather, he is forced to confront the truth about himself, and that can be more painful than a blow to the head.  Sugar Skull justifies this entire enterprise undertaken by Charles Burns, and it proves that Burns' stories may be strange and intense, but they are not impersonal.  They are unique depictions of the human condition, and, as Sugar Skull shows, they are deeply personal.

Review: Charles Burns' THE HIVE

THE HIVE
PANTHEON BOOKS – @PantheonBooks

CARTOONIST: Charles Burns
ISBN: 978-0-307-90788-2; hardcover (October 2012)
56pp, Color, $21.95 US, $25.95 CAN

Charles Burns is the Philadelphia-based comic book creator, cartoonist, and illustrator known for such works as Black Hole and Big Baby. Burns grew up in Seattle in the 1970s and rose to prominence in the mid-1980s when his comics began to appear in RAW, the avant-garde magazine founded by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly.

Burns’ latest work is The Hive, the second volume of a graphic novel trilogy that began in 2010 with X’ed Out. Both volumes are published as 9x12 hardcover editions, similar to the oversized format Fantagraphics Books used for its “Charles Burns Library.” Apparently, Burns has drawn inspiration for X’ed Out and The Hive from legendary cartoonist Hergé (Tintin) and author William Burroughs (The Naked Lunch), although I think the films of David Lynch could also be an influence.

Like X’ed Out, The Hive is the story of Doug, a photographic artist who has a head injury of some kind. Following his cat, Inky, who is supposed to be dead, through a hole torn in a brick wall, Doug discovers a place called The Hive. As the second volume begins, Doug works in that nightmarish alternate world as a lowly employee who carts supplies around The Hive. He strikes up a friendship with a breeder named Suzy, and that new relationship is almost like another he had.

In fact, in the real world, Doug is talking about his past to an unidentified woman. He struggles to recall a mysterious incident with his now-absent girlfriend, Sarah (who is also a photographer), and her menacing boyfriend. Where are the answers?

I have to admit that by the time I finished reading the first half of The Hive, I was bored with it. Actually, I thought I was bored; I was simply lost in and confused by this narrative, which not only travels between two worlds, but also moves back and forth through time. The hero, Doug, is also unmoored in time. I think he’s an unreliable narrator, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dead, in a coma, or intellectually disabled.

Once I got my bearings, I realized that Charles Burns had done it to me again. He’d drawn me into another one of his surreal landscapes – infused with a sense of creeping dread and filled with the dreadfully creepy. When he draws a figure, human or humanoid, Burns beats back the ordinary (except for a nude depiction of Doug, who is ordinary), choosing the extraordinary and the bizarre. As Chris Ware just showed with Building Stories, Burns reveals with The Hive that, as a comics creator, he is in a place where few other cartoonists are.

Review: X'ed Out by Charles Burns

X’ED OUT
PANTHEON BOOKS

CARTOONIST: Charles Burns
ISBN: 978-0-307-37913-9; hardcover (October 2010)
56pp, Color, $19.95 US, $22.95 CAN

Cartoonist and illustrator Charles Burns rose to prominence in the mid-1980s when his comics began to appear in RAW, the avant-garde magazine founded by Art Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly. He went on to illustrate album covers, advertisements, and magazine covers. Burns is best known for his comics works, such as the 12-issue series, Black Hole, and graphic novels such as El Borbah and Big Baby.

X’ed Out is the first volume of a graphic novel trilogy from Burns. X’ed Out is published as a 9x12 hardcover, similar to the oversized format Fantagraphics Books used for its “Charles Burns Library.” Apparently, Burns has drawn inspiration for X’ed Out from Hergé (Tintin) and author William Burroughs (although film director David Lynch could also be an influence).

X’ed Out opens in the peculiar dream time of an unusual fellow named Doug, a photographic artist who has a head injury of some kind. Doug awakens to find his deceased cat, Inky, standing next to a hole torn in a brick wall. Inky walks through the hole, silently beckoning Doug to follow. Doug follows and finds himself near a putrid stream running through a crumbling badland. That leads to some kind of egg processing plant, full of huge white eggs with splotches of red on them (the Tintin reference?). Then, his journey and the narrative become a shifting reality and landscape of reptilian thugs, pills, fetal pigs, an Interzone-like market, and lots of Polaroid pictures. Will Doug find clarity? Can he?

I first encountered Charles Burns work in RAW, but I avoided reading it (much as I would do when I first saw Richard Sala’s comix). Something about that first story I encountered made me feel uncomfortable. Someone even gave me a copy of Big Baby or El Borbah after Fantagraphics Books published them, and I still didn’t want to read Burns. Somewhere, it happened, but I don’t remember when I first relented or why.

There is something disquieting about Charles Burns’ work. He is cryptic without being oblique, and the reader can always figure out that something wrong or some problem in a story. This must be what is known as creeping dread, and X’ed Out is filled with that.

This slim volume that is X’ed Out, however, merely asks a lot of questions that future volumes will hopefully answer. Only Burns could get away with offering relatively little in an opening salvo. It is the meticulous craftsmanship of his high-contrast art and his ability to make every single element on a page matter that engages the readers’ imaginations, and for the reader, that will have to do, here. Where is X’ed Out going? I don’t know, but I will follow.

Review: Steven Heller's COMICS SKETCHBOOKS

COMICS SKETCHBOOKS: The Private Worlds of Today’s Most Creative Talents
THAMES & HUDSON, INC. – @thamesandhudson

AUTHOR: Steven Heller
DESIGNER: Ashley Olsson
ISBN: 978-0-500-28994-5; paperback
352pp, Color and Black and White; $44.95 U.S., $47.50 CAN

Steven Heller is co-chair of the MFA/Designer as Author + Entrepreneur program at New York’s School of Visual Arts. He is the author, editor, and co-editor of over one hundred books on design and popular culture. His works include Handwritten: Expressive Lettering in the Digital Age (with Mirko Ilic) and New Modernist Type (with Gail Anderson).

His latest book is Comics Sketchbooks: The Private Worlds of Today’s Most Creative Talents. A massive book (365 pages, 8.65 x 11.5), Comics Sketchbooks contains sketches, doodles, drawings, roughs, thumbnails, and even comics from some of the world’s most cutting edge and innovative artists and also some emerging talents. Over 80 artists open up their private sketchbooks and notebooks, from which Heller culled the hundreds drawings and samples that fill this fat (and phat) book. Even some artists who do not keep sketchbooks provided roughs and studies for this book.

Readers get a chance to see the thinking and planning and the experimentation, practice, and play behind the work and style of such artists as Charles Burns, Lilli Carré, Drew Friedman, David Mazzucchelli, Gary Panter, and Carol Tyler, to name a few. Readers can see into the sketchbooks of such legends as R. Crumb, Bill Griffith, Victor Moscoso, Bill Plympton, and Arnold Roth. Not every artist in this collection is specifically a comics artists, but according to Heller (in his introduction), all of them make comics as either their primary occupation or as part of their larger body of work.

Admirers, fans, and students of alternative comics and cartoonists will like Comics Sketchbooks. Still, some, like myself, may find this book missing things they wanted, which is a bit ungrateful. Why do I want more?

Obviously, Heller could not get every drawing that he wanted included in this book, for various reasons. One of the reasons is that some artists are self-conscious about opening their sketchbooks. Another reason is that some artists only actively sketch to prepare for upcoming projects, and may, in fact, discard such preliminary drawings and preparatory material once projects are completed.

So, the two pages of David Mazzucchelli just don’t seem like enough, although the sample of his typographical skills almost makes up for that. There are four pages of R. Crumb, but since Crumb has been publishing his sketchbooks and sketchbook material for four decades, the illustrations here won’t seem like anything new.

My minor quibbles aside, there is some spectacular material in Comics Sketchbooks from some major talents, known and little known. The six pages of sketches by Carol Tyler are a doorway into the wonderland that is the talent of this unheralded artist. The offerings from political cartoonist, Ann Telnaes, include several superb sketches of President Barack Obama caricatures. There is no way to prepare for the six pages of Joseph Lambert, which are crammed with drawings. I couldn’t help but return to his section several times.

It would be impractical for me to try to describe all the drawings in this book, all of it good, some of it even stunning, and even a few pieces that are (dare I say it) great. I will tempt some of you by saying that there are a few sketches in here that were proposals for covers for the magazine, The New Yorker, including one by the always fabulous Drew Friedman. This is a good book. Comics Sketchbooks: The Private Worlds of Today’s Most Creative Talents should be on comics fans’ wish lists. Steven Heller deserves some awards recognition, and certainly, at least, an Eisner nomination next year.

X-ed Out is Out

I read X'ed Out

I posted a review at the Comic Book Bin.  This is the new Charles Burns graphic novel.

Charles Burns at Fantagraphics Bookstore on October 30th

Charles Burns Returns to Seattle on October 30 with Spooky New Book

 

Charles Burns was among a trio of gifted cartoonists to emerge from The Evergreen State College in the mid-1970s. Together, Burns and fellow Evergreen alumni Matt Groening and Lynda Barry altered the course of contemporary comix and left an indelible mark on regional culture. Burns makes a rare return visit to his native Seattle on Saturday, October 30 to celebrate the publication of his amazing new graphic novel X’ED OUT with a slide talk, art exhibition, and book signing at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery. His idiosyncratic horror-story sensibility is perfect for the Halloween-eve occasion.

Burns began his career as a fine artist in Seattle while publishing illustrations and his “Big Baby” cartoon in The Rocket magazine, developing his signature stark-contrast rendering style. Burns also composed covers for Bruce Pavitt’s seminal Sub Pop cassette fanzine, the forerunner to the celebrated record label. On a visit to New York, Burns came to the attention of cartoonist Art Spiegelman, who subsequently published his work in the influential anthology RAW. The rest, as they say, is history. Spiegelman published the collected BIG BABY on his RAW imprint, and Seattle-based publisher Fantagraphics Books produced his influential BLACK HOLE serial, as well as graphic albums SKIN DEEP and EL BORBAH (in addition to reprinting BIG BABY.)

X’ED OUT continues the artist’s examination of the furtive insecurities of adolescence becoming manifested in bizarre and horrific consequences. In a departure from Burns’ prior work, the current graphic novel is presented in full color.

The reception at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, located at 1201 S. Vale Street, will feature a brief slide talk and book signing. An exhibition of recent fine art prints will be complemented by Burns’ original drawings and related Sub Pop ephemera courtesy of label co-founder Bruce Pavitt.

Please join us to celebrate the lasting legacy of Charles Burns on Seattle’s civic culture and the debut of his graphic novel X’ED OUT on Saturday, October 30 from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. Spooky Halloween costumes are welcome but not required. All ages, free admission.
