The first appearance of Charles Burns in this publication. Here, his famous character El Borbah takes on a case that involves suburban teenagers who want to become robots because they can’t handle emotions. Of course, these are themes that Burns has spent the last few decades riffing on. Here, the real joy is the very weird attendees of the party in the first panel.
