In this graphic novel, Adam Kline is an aspiring digital artist stuck in a thankless university adjunct position, married to an ambitious woman sick of supporting his pipe dreams, and is completely ignored by the New York art scene. Miraculously, though, his fortunes seem to be turning around. However, there's just one problem - his mysterious medical condition keeps blacking him out at the most inopportune times, and slowly blurs his perceptions of reality and fantasy... And, if that wasn't enough, he has to content with eerie, pitch-black void, flesh-eating zombies, and a vast, secret network of bug-eyed, bald-headed aliens.
Mutch draws readers into the full bloom of mental breakdown in this viciously satirical graphic novel.
A sweaty mix of angst, bad decisions and hallucination, told with an involuntary, blurted-out kind of honesty.--Joe Ollmann, author of The Abominable Mr. Seabrook
Kevin Mutch mercilessly examines romantic failure, artistic pretentiousness, self-delusion, and fear of zombies. Self-lacerating and hilarious.--Matt Madden, author of 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style
Kevin Mutch is a cartoonist, digital artist, and painter from Winnipeg, Canada. He received an MFA in painting from the University of Victoria. His graphic novel Fantastic Life received a Xeric Award in 2010 and was excerpted in The Best American Comics 2011.
