Black Hole by Charles Burns

Forget the hormone-fueled drama of regular high school. Black Hole depicts a 1970s Seattle crew dealing with a sexually transmitted "bug" that grows extra mouths, sheds skin, and forces them to live in the woods. It is basically the ultimate metaphor for teenage awkwardness, just with 100% more body horror. The book’s condition: Excellent. No weird skin mutations or extra limbs included. Vibe: Beautifully depressing black-and-white art that will look incredibly cool on your coffee table. Side Effects: May cause temporary paranoia about dating and a sudden urge to avoid camping. Perfect for fans of indie comics, David Cronenberg movies, or anyone who thinks their own high school experience wasn't quite weird enough.
