About This Item
New York: Pantheon, 2005 Illustrated glossy boards. Tight, square binding. The book is pristine. The dust jacket was exposed to water. The evidence is slight on the front; slight line of staining from water on the face on the cover, above and below the letter 'H'. The jacket is now wrapped in a Brodart jacket cover obscuring the more obvious exposure to liquid. I am grading the jacket NF because of the appearance from the side you see and in the context of being wrapped protecting it against further damage. Tight, squrare binding.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine.
Synopsis
Charles Burns grew up in Seattle in the 1970s. Hs work rose to prominence in Art Spiegelman’s Raw magazine in the mid-1980s and took off from there, for an extraordinary range of comics and projects, from Iggy Pop album covers to the latest ad campaign for Altoids. In 1992 he designed the set for Mark Morris’s delightful restaging of The Nutcracker (renamed The Hard Nut ) at BAM. He’s illustrated covers for Time, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Magazine. He was also tapped as the official cover artist for The Believer magazine at its inception in 2003. Burns lives in Philadelphia with his wife and two daughters.
