“I can count on one hand the number of comic artists whose work is as strong . . . maybe on two or three fingers.” — ROBERT CRUMB

While the past unites this group of neurotic thirty-somethings, the future will hit them harder than a (insert your favorite gaming metaphor here) when their all-too-real fantasy existence threatens to destroy them in OTHER LIVES, an original graphic novel from award-winning creator Peter Bagge (Hate). Zelig meets Dr. Strangelove by way of The Big Bang Theory in this hilarious and heartless exploration of identity - both real and created.
