Since leaving the legendary band, Low, Zak Sally is better known for his comic, Sammy the Mouse, and his story collection, Like a Dog (Fantagraphics). These don't compare to his two-time Eisner Award nominated series, Recidivist. Recidivist IV, a Best American Comics Notable Comic, is his masterpiece. The stories in Recidivist IV concern the life of an artist, and the art of making a life, moving through the despair of obscurity to the integrity and freedom within it. Printed in a six-color, metallic process, some text and figures are only visible in light, some only in shadow. As CBR writes, this "a comic that forces you to engage with it but rewards you with its tightrope act, as the reading experience and the content cohere into a breathtaking whole."In addition to his renown as an artist and musician, Zak Sally operates La Mano 21 press, publishing artists including John Porcellino. He has curated exhibitions, served as United States liaison to the Pierre Feuille Ciseaux, formed an experimental art school (Schoolhaus) and founded the AUTOPTIC festival in Minneapolis. Sally currently teaches at MCAD. His reach and audience are expansive. Zak Sally will tour North America in support of Recidivist IV.

Industry Reviews

"He has discovered the pleasures of irrelevance at last; you are free to do whatever you want. To slip behind people and catch them off guard... ...The results are in your hands. Everything is squared away." - The Comics Journal

"Smart and elegant and breathtaking, a comic that forces you to engage with it but rewards you with its tightrope act as the reading experience and the content cohere into a breathtaking whole." - CBR
