![]() ![]() I have never tried drugs, but I imagine the illustrations capture how disorienting they are. The panels were chock full of symbolism and unnerving images. The illustrations were amazing, crisp black and white with great detail, each individual hair and strand of grass shaded. The narrator kept changing and it was not always immediately apparent who was narrating. The novel is ultimately about adolescence- fitting in, sex, drugs, and alcohol. Those with “The Bug” end up being ostracized and some leave home and school and live out in the woods. The premise is, there is an STD going around a high school that causes gross body mutations, like growing a tail, a second mouth, shedding skin. As far as graphic novels go, it is NSFW graphic. I read the graphic novel Black Hole, by Charles Burns. ![]()
