Charles Burns in Conversation with Chip Kidd: Final Cut

Charles Burns and Chip Kidd
Final Cut book cover

Charles Burns, the visionary graphic novelist behind Black Hole, joins celebrated book designer Chip Kidd for a conversation about Final Cut, Burns’ latest masterwork.

A haunting exploration of an artist’s obsessions, Final Cut follows aspiring filmmaker Brian as he wrestles with the boundaries of creativity — and the costs of crossing them. The story blurs the line between reality and imagination, weaving classic sci-fi and horror references with stunningly surreal visuals.

Burns’ career has spanned decades, from his early contributions to Art Spiegelman’s RAW to iconic magazine covers and award-winning graphic novels. In Kidd, a renowned graphic designer and author in his own right, Burns finds a kindred spirit to delve into the visual and emotional depths of Final Cut.

Join two titans of graphic art for a conversation about creativity, obsession, and the power of storytelling through the lens of Burns’ new opus.
