Black Hole

Though Burns has been making comix since the early 80s, Black Hole is his first full-length graphic novel. Given that it took ten years for this book to reach completion, it may ... be his only one. (It appeared over time as series of twelve comic books.) But you can't fault Burns for laziness. Once you see one of his illustrations, you see why it took so long. Possessing a graphical style as unique and instantly recognizable as Edward Gorey's, Burns works in meticulous detail using heavy inks that seem to bring out the worst horrors of anyone or anything. He will individually trace each hideous hair of an emerging mustache above an adolescent lip, for example. Some of the most intensely high contrast comix every created, everything is made up of either pure white or jet black, and mostly the latter.

The Black Hole is a significant film in the history of Disney's live action works. It was the studio's first film to earn a "PG" rating and it was their first and last big-budget no-holds barred futuristic sci-fi epic. Though Disney flirted with science fiction in the years before and after, The Black Hole is their most sincere effort, and one which seems out of place alongside films like Freaky Friday and The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again. People may give the film a hard time and label it 'campy', and while it's certainly not the most sophisticated of stories, it is genuinely and consistently entertaining.

The Black Hole serial # database has the most entries of all the System 80 games, showing the game's popularity. The serial #'s registered suggest that Gottlieb started numbering production games at 04000 and did not skip numbers in producing the 8'774 games. That said there are many games in the 04000 range with an "S" prefix, which Gottlieb used to indicate a sample game. Sample games though are always in the 01000 range, as is ... the case with Black Hole. It's difficult to know then if these games in the 04000 range were really sample games or if including the "S" was just a mistake.

Black Hole has as much fun defying the teen horror conventions as working within them. Keith and Chris do not fall in love, as you might expect, while battling hordes of monsters. In fact, the first two thirds of the book follows each in parallel but separate stories. A stoned philosopher, Keith goes through his days working hard at doing nothing and just getting a good buzz on. After stumbling upon a colony of infected teens near his favorite woodsy spot for getting stoned, he starts to become aware of their isolated but darkly appealing world. While everyone else spends their time getting doped up on drugs or TV, the "bug" kids come off as genuinely friendly and inclusive. Soon Keith lets himself be seduced by an infected young woman named Eliza, apparently embracing the bug as just one more "trip."

The notorious episode of the "Black Hole" of Calcutta furnishes an extraordinary instance of the manner in which narratives are constructed and the place of iteration in historical narratives. It points equally to the difficulty of ascertaining "truth" in history. In 1756, Siraj-ud-daulah, the Nawab of Bengal, occupied Fort William and Calcutta, then the principal possession of the East India Company. 146 people are said to have been imprisoned, at the orders of the Nawab, in a small and airless dungeon at Fort William. Next morning, when the door was opened, 123 of the prisoners had died. This story was recounted by the survivor John Zephaniah Holwell, and soon became the basis for representing Indians as a base, cowardly, and despotic people.
