4PANELProject

The 4PANEL experimental comics site is a curatorial project developed by interdisciplinary artist Mark Laliberte. 4PANEL.CA is a space where a range of talented artists creatively explore the four-panel comics format in a formal, abstract, literary, conceptual and/or transformative context. A print version of 4PANEL debuted in issue #28 of CAROUSEL, a Canadian hybrid literary & arts magazine (edited by Laliberte) and continues to appear in each new issue of the bi-annual journal. In 2013, 4PANEL received a Doug Wright Award Honourary Mention, in the ‘Best in experimental or avant-garde comics’ category. As of Jul '15, this project is updated twice weekly, with new strips debuting every Monday and Friday. Every month is grouped into a bracketed “issue” of sorts, with the first week set to debut new artists participating in the project; the final strip of most months is a collaborative strip.
