Saw a copy of this at Meltdown in Hollywood the other night and it was amazing…the huge format of the book and the deep black ink on the amazing paper stock….swooon.

This casual comics fan can’t recommend Burns’ book “Black Hole” highly enough.

(For all you hipsters, “Black Hole” was the primary influence for the unnerving “Silent Shout” video by The Knife)

Nice nod to one of my favorite(*) Tintin books there.

(*) Destination Moon/Explorers on the Moon, of course.
