Charles Burns created the cover for the special BD hors série of French rock magazine Les Inrockuptibles, and turned Tintin into an adequately strange and alien version of himself. I just wonder what he would make of La Castafiore.
For more info on the magazine, see my article at the Forbidden Planet International Blog Log.

As an appendix to yesterday’s post, I’ve selected a few (admittedly, very bad) pictures of doodles by Art Spiegelman and Charles Burns, from letters they sent to Ever Meulen. They were on display at the Meulen exhibition in Leuven, and I thought it rather nice to share them.
Charlie Gower pointed me towards this book. It’s a collection of short stories which not only boasts a cover by Charles Burns, but also contains stories by Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes ! How cool is that ?
Charles Burns has done the cover for this months issue of The Believer, with portraits of Mira Nair, Thomas Bernhard, Janeane Garofalo, and a tremendous rendition of Scott McCloud’s almost iconic self-portrait.
Seeing Charles Burns in Angoulème reminded me of the Altoids campaign he did a couple of years back. Since they’re no longer available on the Altoids site, I’m reposting them here. Enjoy.
