HOAX #4 by various
48-page B&W comic • $3.95; $4.95 in Canada •

The new and improved Hoax Quintet bursts onto the scene with an ultra sublime cover by new front-man Hans Rickheit of Chrome Fetus fame! Hoax is the comics anthology for readers who crave a bit more grit in their comics and for half the price most comic collections go for in these times of economic woe. The ongoing surrealistic adventures of Mr. Rickheit’s naughty, pubescent, female twins, Cochlea and Estasia make David Lynch seem like a daisy picker! Dash Shaw has also jumped on board with an all new "tasty bite" to add to the mix. Miss Lydia Gregg is up to her old tricks ranting and raving with Disease is a Sexy Bitch. Mitch Hess continues to break new ground in avante garde comics poetry in Captured On a Petri-dish 3 & 4. Karl Kressbach journeys deep into Madman’s Corner, uncovering the nuances of the everyday insanity of a gang of idiosyncratic homeless coffee shop patrons. Nate Neal picks up the slack with several works of inspired cartoony lunacy, and the whole sha-bang is topped off with the all-new Hoax Spring Calendar by guest writer Sean Beaudry. The most potent issue yet!
