OTHER LIVES TP

(W) Peter Bagge

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.
