This is the first book in Charles Burns' Tintin-inspired "Nitnit" (geddit?) trilogy.



Publishers Weekly review:

 " Fusing the unsettling kitsch of EC horror comics, the storytelling sensibility
   of Euro-classics like Tintin, and the astute observations about young adults
   that made Black Hole so engrossing, Burns has turned out a haunting first
   chapter in what promises to be a spellbinder. The opening pages flip among the
   various realities of Doug, a young man recovering from a head injury of some
   kind with only a box of pills and some strawberry Pop-Tarts to speed his
   recovery. Flashbacks and dreams switch among various scenes: Doug and his
   hypocrite father; a wild party gone awry when Doug's crush object's crazy (but
   unseen) boyfriend goes on a rampage; and, most mysteriously, another world —
   found behind a hole in a brick wall — where dead cats live, worms weep, and a
   giant hive rules a grim city of deformed creatures. Burns's control of the
   story is masterful—the recurring imagery make it unclear just which is the
   reality and which is the dream. His sharply delineated art captures a
   grotesque yet sympathetic view of kids thrust far beyond a world that they can
   control or even understand. The only disappointment about X'ed Out is its
   brevity — the first of several installments, it will leave you begging for the
   rest of the story. "
