OK, we'll admit it – you've been set up.  Yes, we've been none-too-subtly leading you to this very listing.  May is, evidently, the month of Michael DeForge.  Lose #1 and #2 are now both out of print, so grab this daring depiction of dog days and derangement while you still can, and check out one of the more talented and challenging comics creators still willing to work in the original, serially produced, comics pamphlet form.

Edward Bak, John Vermilyea and Joseph Lambert – roughly 2/3 comics and 1/3 illustration – along with a wraparound cover by co-editor DeForge.  Beautifully printed on heavy, flat white stock.  Another fine Koyama Press publication.  BACK IN STOCK.

How does Koyama Press do it?  Here we have a full color, 10" x 10", saddle-stitched comics book by the up and coming Canadian comicker, Michael DeForge for only $5.00.  Admittedly, the comic only runs twelve pages, but that's enough for DeForge to get the job done.  What we have is here is – or, at least, could be construed to be – the work of an absurdist comics naturalist; or , perhaps, it would be better described as a symbolic allegory employing the "Spotting Deer" as its touchstone symbol, with which it comments on the presence of the absurd in contemporary Canadian life.  EIther way, you are sure to get your money's worth here.
Lose #2 Michael DeForge Koyama Press Lose $5.00

Read more and comment... 		A sort of post-Kramers Eightball, Lose is a single-artist, standard pamphlet comic book that incorporates tropes from the work of Ivan Brunetti, Sammy Harkham, Charles Burns, Jim Woodring, Kevin Huizenga, and others to forge a dark and gooey comics world.  Apparently the first issue is already out of print, so you might want to grab a look at this one...  BACK IN STOCK!!!
Diary Comics! #01 Dustin Harbin Koyama Press Diary Comics! $5.00

Read more and comment... 		Spend six months with your pen and ink pal, Dustin Harbin, at the regulation rate of four panels per day.  The drawing starts out a bit rough (but only by Harbin's own exacting standards), but about half way in he seems to start taking the project a bit more seriously and the precision of the drawing noticably improves.  Dustin's sense of humor may not appeal to all, but anyone who is a sucker for choicely inked cartooning at a reasonable price need look no further.  This finely crafted production of Koyama Press has all its aesthetics in the right place and will set you back a mere half a sawbuck here at Copacetic. ONE LEFT!
