Synopsis

Edited by Gary Groth & Eric Reynolds
Tim Hensley (Weird Tales of the Ramones) returns for the first time since the third volume with the first-installment of his first book-length story, titled "Gropius," which tells the story of teen millionaire Wally Gropius who will be disinherited unless he marries the saddest girl on earth; Martin Cendreda develops a mostly wordless, surreal adventure starring three peculiar musicians, and what happens when they get together to make music; and Kurt Wolfgang delivers "Nothing Eve," a story about the day before the end of the world. With yet more self-contained stories between the pages, this issue also features an interview with Anrice Arp, conducted by Gary Groth, and new work by Anders Nilsen (in full-color), Jeffrey Brown (Clumsy), Gabrielle Bell (Scheherazade), Jonathan Bennett (Esoteric Tales), and Sophie Crumb (Belly Button Comix)!
