By Michael DeForge. The fourth installment of Michael DeForges award-winning, one-artist anthology series Lose is another genre-defying mix of visual styles and cartooning. This issue—The Fashion Issue—features a post-adolescent punks leather-and-spike-laced metamorphosis, a look at the lives and fashions of the exquisite corpses that make up the Canadian Royalty, and a town that is haunted by its past, which happens to look a lot like its present. Along with these longer stories, Lose #4 also features shorter strips and pin-ups including Abbey Loafer whose adventures also grace the pages of Torontos Offerings zine. Lose #4 is a comic that blends the banal with the bizarre to create a mélange that is filled with horror and discomfort, humanity and humour. 44 Pages, B&W, Full color.
