A sexually transmitted Zack-sease and De-Charlotte 21 are covering two Fantagraphics releases graphic novels:

– Black Hole (1995) by Charles Burn

– Dementia 21 (2018) by Shintaro Kago

Topics discussed:

– Does the “bug” mean much as a metaphor in Black Hole? Is reading the comic looking for one a mistake?

– Is it possible to talk about a comedy comic without just listing our favorite bits?

Upcoming episodes in our Fantagraphics miniseries:

– Love & Rockets (Gilbert Hernandez)

– Love and Rockets Library Editions:

– Heartbreak Soup

– Human Diastrophism

– Beyond Palomar
