Other Lives

Other Lives follows three former college classmates: a self-loathing journalist whose family secret is the least of his problems; his girlfriend, whose obsession with getting married borders on Bridezilla status; a conspiracy theorist who may or may not work for the Homeland Security but definitely lives with his mother; and a divorced, unemployed gaming addict who lives in his car. While it''s their past that unites them, it''s their fabricated online identities - some more dangerous than others - that lead to their ''real'' lives colliding years later. Originally published in 2010 by DC Comics'' Vertigo imprint, Other Lives is Bagge''s first post-Hate original graphic novel and has been out of print for several years. Fantagraphics is proud to publish this new edition, at a time when Bagge''s oeuvre is enjoying renewed interest following the release of The Complete Hate in late 2020.
