Black Hole #4 by Charles Burns
Black Hole is a comic book limited series written and illustrated by Charles Burns and published by Kitchen Sink Press.
Set in the suburbs of Seattle during the mid 1970s, the story follows a group of teenagers who contract a mysterious sexually transmitted disease referred to as "the Bug," which causes them to develop bizarre unique physical mutations and subsequently become social outcasts, many of them running away from home to live in the nearby woodland.
When others asked the truth of me, I was convinced it was not the truth they wanted, but an illusion they could bear to live with. - Anais Nin
