It's here: The concluding volume in the epic trilogy that began with X'ed Out and The Hive, marking the completion of a true graphic novel milestone.
The long strange trip of Doug reaches its mind-bending, heartbreaking end, but not before he is forced to deal with the lie he's been telling himself since the beginning.
The long strange trip of Doug reaches its mind-bending, heartbreaking end, but not before he is forced to deal with the lie he's been telling himself since the beginning. The fragments of the past collide with the reality of the present, nightmarish dreams evolve into an even more dreadful reality, and when you finally find out where all of this has been going, and what it means . . . well. I won't spoil it here, but it will make you go right back to page one of X'ed Out and read it all again with new eyes.
Just like Doug.
Strange, fantastical and largely terrifying… If you fancy escaping into a dystopian nightmare… then we can’t recommend Burns’ work highly enough. * Esquire UK *
My strong feeling is that this series is one of the most vividly drawn and painfully and honest expositions of male guilt I’ve ever read… I love Charles Burns…and I really adore these books. * Observer *
Fizzes and pops. -- Teddy Jamieson * Glasgow Sunday Herald *
Fans who return to the first two volumes will find even more resonance there now that the trilogy is complete. * Metro *
Burns brings it all together in Sugar Skull. I don’t know which impressed me more – the slow build-up, over three books, to the revelation and knowledge that the final volume delivers. -- Neel Mukherjee * New Statesman *
