		<title>Encore! Encore! Recent Comics Reprints</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Four-Colour Words returns from a Toronto International Film Festival–induced hiatus — if you can, catch up with Face and Trash Humpers, both of them brassy, unabashed image-making of the first rank — to examine a few important comics that have resurfaced lately.
