Foreword by Derf, award-winning cartoonist of the nationally syndicated alt-weekly comic strip "The City".

Lifelike is best described as slice of life stories...and beyond. Each vignette, illustrated by a different artist, presents a glimpse into a different corner of the world outside our window. From the familiar to the unknown, it's all here.

Lifelike's stories are not limited to the cliched autobiographic tales so often associated with the genre. Instead, the stories range in content from noir crime to love stories to war memoirs to humorous conversation pieces. A multicultural, multiethnic cast of characters infuses the book with a realism often missing from today's comics.

Testimonials and Reviews

"Really inventive stuff." -- Sam Kieth (The Maxx, Batman, Four Women)

"...a book that is visually diverse but beautiful to look at, and held together by the strength of Naraghi's writing." -- Alan David Doane, Comic Book Galaxy)

"There are so many different visual styles here, and Naraghi is such a versatile storyteller, that they barely seem to be part of the same series, but there's something that links them together, a great storyteller's sensibility." -- Cory Doctorow, Nebula & Locus award-winning novelist

"Grade A storytelling." -- Jack's Webcomic Reviews

"There is no central theme beyond life, and it's presented here with a varied richness that I greatly enjoy. Fans of realistic fiction won't be disappointed." -- Wednesday Webcomic Weview

"Dara Naraghi weaves deliciously dark tales with unexpected twists and turns. Great stuff!" -- Derf, award-winning alt-indy cartoonist of "The City"
