#4 is probably our favorite issue here at Copacetic. The lead story by Sarah Oleksyk ("Roadside," "Ivy"), of a pair of lovestruck misfits who meet at an all-night copy shop is a small, quiet classic that is also the subject of the wraparound cover (
and it was selected by Lynda Barry for inclusion in the
2008 America's Best Comics anthology, so there). Vanessa Davis ("Spaniel Rage") and John Porcellino ("King-Cat") complete the issue with tales of friendship, club-hopping, and snowstorms. If you want to give Papercutter a try and aren't sure which issue to choose, we say start with this one. THIS ONE IS NOW OUT OF PRINT. However, the lead story by Sarah Oleksyk was collected in the
2008 edition of Best American Comics, a 200+ page deluxe hardcover volume edited by Lynda Barry, which, it so happens, is currently
ON SALE here at Copacetic for only $8.88!
