Charles Burns is an American cartoonist and illustrator. Charles Burns's earliest works include illustrations for the Sub Pop fanzine, and Another Room Magazine of Oakland, but he came to prominence when his comics were published for the first time in early issues of RAW, the avant-garde comics magazine founded in 1980 by Françoise Mouly and Art Spiegelman. Most of Burns's short stories, published in various outlets over the decades, were later collected in the three volumes El Borbah (1999), Big Baby (2000), and Skin Deep (2001). From 1993 to 2004, he serialized the 12 chapters of his Harvey Award-winning graphic novel Black Hole, which was collected into a single volume in 2005. In October 2010, Burns released the first part of a new trilogy, X'ed Out, followed by The Hive and Sugar Skull. The next trilogy was Daidalos, published in a single volume as Final Cut in English in 2024.
