Sunburn

 Comic Anthology, #17, $3, Karl Thomsen, Editor/Publisher, 32pgs, P.O. Box 2061, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 3R4, www.escape.ca/~mosfog/

I guess editor Karl Thomsen is slapping on the SPF30, ’cause he has announced that there shall be no more Sunburn. After six years, the Winnipeg comic anthology is folding in high style with this death-themed final issue. Treatments of the theme vary from disarmingly solemn to charmingly nutty, the more successful probably being the latter. 21 contributions plus a bonus 28-page comic insert will keep you contemplating your mortality for some time. Just as thermometers are a better bargain in the summertime ’cause you get more mercury, you gotta pick this one up while it’s hot. (Jon Sasaki)
