Episode description
On this episode the hilarious comic and all around wonderful person Amber Bixby sits down to talk about Black Hole by Charles Burns, one of the most devastatingly heartbreaking comic book stories of the modern era. Using the conceit of a horrifying new STD that creates grotesque and even supernatural disfigurement in its victims, Black Hole explores adolescent alienation and the vulnerability of youth to both material and social poverty in a way no other graphic novel has.
