Brian se už nemůže dočkat, až vyrazí s partou vysoko do hor – má v plánu dotočit v divočině společný mysteriózní snímek. A snad najde i chvilku na to, aby si promluvil s Laurie o samotě. Podaří se mu ji během natáčení vysvobodit z mušelínové kukly? Navštíví jejich tábořiště kmen vidláckých kanibalů? A hlavně, přistanou v údolí mimozemské medúzy? Bludiště 3 uzavírají příběh party mladých filmařů v emocionálním finále – Laurie s Brianem musí překonat narůstající úzkost a otevřít poslední dveře.

A compilation of the author's three previous graphic novels"--

Brian pořád skvěle kreslí, ale taky se pořád chová dost divně. Jeho vztah s Laurie se komplikuje a situace v partě se následně vyhrotí na na filmařském výletě na chatu u pláže. Zjevení mimozemských medúz rozhodně nikomu na pohodě nepřidá. Odkud pocházejí? Zrodily se snad v bludišti Brianovy mysli? A jak do toho všeho zapadá osamělá maminka, vraždící Pařát a exkluzivní parmezán? Bludiště 2 pokračují v započaté trajektorii – ani v druhém díle chystané trilogie nechybí labilní adolescenti, hlubinné vize či amatérské osmičkové filmy.

And you thought your adolescence was scary. Suburban Seattle, the mid-1970s. We learn from the outset that a strange plague has descended upon the area's teenagers, transmitted by sexual contact. Black Hole transcends its genre by deftly exploring a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it.

Brian rád kreslí. Kreslí ale nejrůznější podivnosti, které snad ani nejsou z tohoto světa. Občas se taky dost divně chová. Když k němu na večírku přistoupí krásná Laurie, nemůže z jeho kreseb spustit oči. Brian ji zároveň děsí i přitahuje. Co se mu vlastně odehrává v hlavě? Není ten kluk chodící průšvih? A co mají znamenat ty mimozemské medúzy? Bludiště jsou prvním dílem nové trilogie Charlese Burnse, v níž se věnuje lidskému nevědomí, silné kávě i starým černobílým hororům.

From the creator of Black Hole ("The best graphic novel of the year." —Time; "Burns's masterwork." —The New York Times Book Review), the second part of an epic masterpiece of graphic horror in brilliant, vivid color. Much has happened since we last saw Doug, the Tintin-like hero from X'ed Out. Confessing his past to an unidentified woman, Doug struggles to recall the mysterious incident that left his life shattered, an incident that may have involved his disturbed and now-absent girlfriend, Sarah, and her menacing ex-boyfriend. Doug warily seeks answers in a nightmarish alternate world that is a distorted mirror of our own, where he is a lowly employee that carts supplies around the Hive. The second part of Charles Burns's riveting trilogy, this graphic narrative will delight and surpass the expectations of his fans.

From the creator of the 2005 hit graphic novel Black Hole comes this new softcover edition of his other masterpiece of modern horror. Big Baby is a particularly impressionable young boy named Tony Delmonte, who lives in a seemingly typical American suburb until he sneaks out of his room one night and becomes entangled in a horrific plot involving summer camp murders and backyard burials. Burns' clinical precision as an artist adds a sinister chill to his droll sense of humor, and his affection for 20th-century pulp fiction permeates throughout, creating a brilliant narrative that perfectly captures the unease and fear of adolescence.
