Recidivist IV

Zak Sally

Seccret Acres
A man searches for his lost teeth to complete his masterwork. Another embraces ghosts in an act of vengeance. Children escape from a ruined house to find a revelation. A wanderer leaves everything behind and discovers the infinite.

Part resignation letter, part manifesto, the stories in Zak Sally's Recidivist IV comprise a medium-defying visual experience of the freedom in obscurity.

Recidivist IV, a Best American Comics Notable Comic, is his masterpiece.
