Charles Burns Raw Vol. 2 No. 1 - Teen Plague Story Page 2 Original Art (Penguin Book, 1989).

Kaballa-Bonga!!!

Charles Burns’s “Teen Plague,” from which this page 2 originates, was first published in 1989 in Raw Vol. 2, No. 1: Open Wounds from the Cutting Edge of Commix.

The story was later republished in 1999, when Fantagraphics released Big Baby as a single collected volume bringing together several of Burns’s key works, including Teen Plague.

In pure Underground spirit, Burns—one of the movement’s most iconic figures—unleashes a tour de force of graphic intensity on this mythical page, widely regarded as one of the most striking and significant images from the legendary Big Baby. A cornerstone of the Underground scene, the work confronts the viewer head-on with dark, terrifying creatures erupting from the deepest recesses of the artist’s shadowy imagination.
