The latest self-published comics work from Lale Westvind has touched down at Copacetic. It's a 28 pages, 7" x 8 1/2", black & white on flat, cream colored paper with two-color outer covers (B& W inner) printed on cardstock.
The contents? There are two stories – the 16-page, "Life & Limb", a freaky dreamlike story, and the 7-page science-fiction story / prophecy of things to come, "Tail of the Egg"– interspersed with three one-page "Void Packer" strips – each of which is a meditation, by turns philosophic and poetic – on the theme.
Nice!

It's been a minute, but the second issue of Void Packer has finally touched down here at Copacetic. It's another 7" x 8 1/2", black & white, 28-pager, this time printed on flat white paper with full-color outer and inner covers printed on cardstock.
The bulk of the issue is devoted to the continuing saga, of "Life and Limb!" with its mix of meditation, rumination, agitation and deviation, together with their respective interactions. The remainder is a uniquely Westvindian comics poetry reverie, "Pack the Void With This!"
ALSO: Restock of the first issue.
BACK IN STOCK | LIMITED QUANTITY
It's been a minute, but the third issue of Lale Westvind's single-creator, auteur comics anthology has at long last arrived (and we have been promised a much shorter interval between this issue and the next)! It's the same format as the first two, with 20 black & white interior pages and color covers (front and back, inside and out) printed on heavy cardstock.
The bulk of this issue is, again, devoted to the ongoing saga, "Life & Limb", with the rest of the issue rounded out with some biological speculations in drawing and text (as well as a heavy Steinbeck quote) and then some wacky hi-jinx with found photographs that – while decidedly different – are not too far removed from some of Julie Doucet's collage-comics. In short, another funky and far out issue!
Void Packer #4 has arrived! This issue features the fourth installment of Lale's ongoing saga, "Life and Limb", in which the story begins to expand, heading both sideways in space and backwards in time – and really starts to get interesting! This is then followed by the comics cri de cœur, "Tomorrow..." a story designed to serve as an antidote to our toxic times – and to lift the spirits of one all.
