Unlike Stan Lee’s X-mutants, the teenagers rarely benefit from the mutations though some, like Eliza’s vestigial tail are hardly unsightly. As a graphic novel, its themes of 70s nostalgia and the impetuousness of adolescence elevate it to the status of a classic in its own humble niche, if only because it few other comic creators are plucky enough to enter such territory.Ī mysterious sexually transmitted disease causes those who contract it to develop randomly hideous mutations some gain additional body parts, others are grotesquely disfigured. As an indie movie it would have found small praise and earned the sort of loyal fan base that would assure its place as a cult movie.
Charles Burns’s Black Hole is a perfect example of such positive medium bias.
