REVIEW SCORE 9
Bizarre Sex #4 features a plain white wrapper which hides the real cover (shown in the 2nd printing and the graphic link below), which Denis Kitchen wisely deemed too pornographic for most retail displays. The comic itself is loaded with great stuff, including the prostitue saga, "How'd Ya Get Inta This Bizness Ennyway?", written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Gary Dumm and Gary Budgett, who worked a lot with Pekar for American Splendor.
