Big Baby by Charles Burns
"Big Baby collects four stories created by Burns between 1983 and 1992 from works published in RAW comix anthology and his syndicated “Big Baby” comic strip. Much like the Hernandez Brothers‘ Love & Rockets stories of this period, science fiction plays an important role, though Burns’ EC horror comics influences are more evident. His primary protagonist is a peculiar little boy with an intense imagination. Burns confesses in the book’s epilogue that his character “is in many ways an abstracted reflection of my own childhood growing up in middle class suburban America.” These seminal themes of alienation and supernatural phenomenon would become central to the work of Burns throughout his illustrious career." - Fantagraphics
