Publication history[edit]

Black Hole was published as a 12-issue comic booklimited series between 1995 and 2005. The first four issues were released by Kitchen Sink Press, before the publisher went out of business. Fantagraphics republished the first four issues and the remaining eight.

A compiled hardcover volume was released by Pantheon Books in 2005, albeit without the interstitial character portraits from the single issues.[2]

Plot[edit]

Set in the suburbs of Seattle during the mid 1970s, the story follows a group of teenagers who contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease referred to as 'the Bug,' which causes them to develop bizarre unique physical mutations and subsequently become social outcasts, many of them running away from home to live in the nearby woodland.

Focusing on four central characters, the viewpoint changes between (and sometimes within) issues. Chris is a high schooler who contracts the disease from Rob, a popular kid at her school. She immediately feels she has been deceived and stops speaking to him. Around the same time, Keith contracts The Bug from Eliza, a woman he meets while trying to buy cannabis at a friend's house.

Meanwhile, many other teens in the town have contracted the disease, and several of them seek seclusion from society due to the severity of their mutations and build an encampment in the woods outside of town. Chris and Rob eventually renew their friendship, which culminates with Chris running away from home to the encampment in the woods. Rob continues to live with his parents and attends school, visiting Chris daily at the encampment. At the same time, Keith and Eliza drift apart. There is a central campfire at the encampment known as 'The Pit', which Chris avoids.

Later, Rob disappears and Chris starts going to The Pit, where she encounters Keith, a regular visitor who brings supplies to the teens. They take a liking to each other, and Keith offers to let her stay at a tract house that he is watching while its owners are on vacation. Chris eventually invites some of the other teens that frequent the pit to stay at the tract house, which they proceed to destroy to Keith's detriment. Eventually Keith and Eliza rekindle their relationship and Chris discovers Rob's fate. This culminates in the remaining central characters leaving the tract house and the town itself.

Collected editions[edit]

Pantheon Books has released soft (ISBN978-0375714726) and hardcover (ISBN037542380X) collected editions of the series. In Brazil, publisher Darkside Books released a hardcover collected edition of the series.

Reception[edit]

The collected edition won the 2006 Harvey Award for 'Best Graphic Album of Previously Published Work'. Burns also won the 1998, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 Harvey Award as 'Best Inker' for his work on the series. Black Hole won the 2006 Ignatz Award for 'Outstanding Anthology or Collection'. It was the 2007 winner of the 'Essentials of Angoulême' award.

It was voted the third best foreign comic book published in Japan for the 2013 Gaiman Award presentation.[3]

In popular culture[edit]

The Knife album Silent Shout, along with the music video for the title track and some of the press photos, were inspired by Black Hole.[4]

In the 2014 film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the human teenager Alexander (Kodi Smit-McPhee) gives his copy of a softcover collected edition of Black Hole to the Bornean orangutan teacher Maurice (Karin Konoval), as they form a bond important to the film's plot.

The 2012 song The Pit (song), according to Silversun Pickups vocalist Brian Aubert, was inspired by Black Hole.[5]

Film adaptation[edit]

In November 2005, the message board of the Comics Journal reported that Black Hole would be adapted to film by the French director Alexandre Aja. In March 2006, comics news site Newsarama reported that Neil Gaiman and Pulp Fiction co-writer Roger Avary would be adapting the screenplay.[6][7]

In 2007, director Rupert Sanders released an abbreviated live-action adaptation of Black Hole on his website[8][9] as part of his pitch for the project.[10] It features actors Chris Marquette, Whitney Able, Diane Gaeta, Noel Fisher, and Nate Mooney.

In February 2008, Variety reported that the film would be produced by Paramount Pictures and directed by Academy Award-nominee David Fincher.[11] In October 2008, MTV reported that scriptwriters Gaiman and Avary had left the production, reporting that their script would not be used by Fincher – though no replacement scriptwriter was announced.[12] In August 2010, David Fincher also removed his name from production of the film in order to focus more attention on directing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy,[13] however as of October 2013 he was once more attached to direct Black Hole.[14]

In March 2018, the project was revived when New Regency and Brad Pitt's production company Plan B own the rights to the film with Rick Famuyiwa attached to write and direct after making his Sundance hit, Dope.

Career[edit]

Comics[edit]

Charles Burns' earliest works include illustrations for the Sub Pop fanzine, and Another Room Magazine of Oakland, California, but he came to prominence when his comics were published for the first time in early issues of RAW, the avant-garde comics magazine founded in 1980 by Françoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman. In 1982, Burns did a die-cut cover for RAW #4. Raw Books also published two books of Burns as RAW One-Shots: Big Baby and Hard-Boiled Defective Stories.[1] In 1994, he was awarded a Pew Fellowships in the Arts.[2] In 1999, he showed at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.[3]

Most of Burns' short stories, published in various supports over the decades, were later collected in the three volumes of the 'Charles Burns' Library' (hardcovers from Fantagraphics Books): El Borbah (1999),[1]Big Baby (2000), and Skin Deep (2001). (A fourth and last volume, Bad Vibes, has yet to be published, which would have the Library collecting the entirety of his pre-Black Hole comics work. It was later stated that Burns did not feel there was enough material for a complete fourth volume.)[4]

From 1993 to 2004, he serialized the 12 chapters of his Harvey Award-winning graphic novelBlack Hole (12 issues from Kitchen Sink Press and Fantagraphics Books). The series was collected into a single volume in 2005.[5]Black Hole was featured prominently in the film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

In 2007 Burns contributed material for the French made animated horror anthology Fear(s) of the Dark.[6]

In October 2010, Burns released the first part of a new series, X'ed Out.[4] Part two of the new trilogy, The Hive, was released in October 2012.[7]Sugar Skull, the final installment in the trilogy, was released Fall of 2014.[8] The series was collected into a single volume, Last Look, published by Pantheon in 2016.[9]

Illustration[edit]

Burns

Burns' high-profile illustrations include album cover work for the Iggy Pop album Brick by Brick. His art was also licensed by The Coca-Cola Company to illustrate product and advertising material for their failed OK Soda product. More recently, he has worked on advertising campaigns for Altoids and portrait illustrations for The Believer. In the early 1990s, his Dogboy stories were adapted by MTV as a live-action serial for Liquid Television. In 1991, choreographer Mark Morris commissioned him to create illustrations that were then used as a basis for his version of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, calling it The Hard Nut. Burns's style was a source of inspiration for Martin Ander's artwork for Fever Ray, Karin Dreijer Andersson's solo project.[10]
