Here's the fourth issue of LAAB (yes, we know it is numbered "#3"; they're messing with sequence here, and many other things besidesm – the longer and closer you look, the more you'll see).
The theme is – more or less some form of – an eroticized spin on (a) philosophy (of comics) that readers are clued in on in Trad Moore's opening piece – and could be stated as a paraphrase of itsw Kierkegaard quote. Something along the lines of: "Comics is a synthesis of form and content; comics is not the relation of these, but is the relation's relating this instance of comics to comics; this relation is the positive third, and this is comics." Maybe.
Regardless, there are plenty of comics, art/text and, yes, classified ads, splashed across this broadsheet, with spreads measuring a whopping 23" x 32", designed by Chloe Scheffe and Natalie Shields. Edited by Ronald Wimberly and Josh O'Neill, it includes work by Anuj Shrestha, Audre Lorde, Bhanu Pratap, Celine Loup, E.S. Glenn, Hussein Adil, James Harvey, Jillian McManemin, Kelly Bjork, Lamar Abrams, Melek Zertal, Nevyets, Oliver Ono, Patrick McKeown, Shannon Wright, Vanessa Place, and Yahya Ashour along with the aforementioned Trad Moore and, of course, Wimberly himself.
We've provided a taste of what's in store up on the Copacetic Tumblr, HERE.
