An impressionable boy named Tony Delmonte 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.

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. Black-and-white comics throughout

Terror Trash

Um bom HQ, no qual o protagonista é um menino inteligente, que age e pensa como uma criança, tem traços que lembram um alienígena, sendo uma caracterização muito bem conduzida pelo autor.
Pode ser encarado como uma breve introdução, para a muito mais complexa e interessante HQ Black Hole. Inclusive alguns dos temas que aparecem em Black Hole são antecipadas nesta edição de Big Baby, bem como seus personagens um tanto quanto excêntricos.
