Vortex is a totally new book by Charles Burns, created especially for Cornélius and offered exclusively worldwide. It is not available in any other edition. From the publisher: During the six years creating his Toxic trilogy, Charles Burns developed a strange universe around his three works. Unpublished plates, fictitious comic covers, photographs, pages of imaginary mangas, the unusual alphabet, are gathered in this volume. Vortex is a phantasmagoric extension of the unreal world in which the characters of the trilogy evolve. A genuine graphic exploration, the illustrations mix English and the invented language, reinforcing the feeling of an excursion into an unknown country. With skill and finesse, Charles Burns invites us into his universe to better lead us into the dream that continues after turning the last page.
