Inspired by the imagery of 1950s comic books, Charles Burns decided to appropriate this pop aesthetic to create over a hundred illustrations. The association of these romantic representations with the mysterious and organic universe of the author of "Toxi "c is striking.

Here, the garish colors disappear to make way for square images in sharp black and white. The theatrical dimension of these graphic rereadings and the games of chiaroscuro mastered to perfection produce a feeling of anguish and strangeness, around which a dislocated narration is built little by little. Born of off-fields, ellipses and intertwined visual references, an untold story takes shape page after page, offering the reader a unique journey into the land of intranquillity.

Evolving between dream and reality, "Love nest" once again attests to Charles Burns' talent for producing unique images of spellbinding beauty. This completely new book, created especially for Cornelius and offered as a world exclusive, will delight his many fans!
