This item is Brand New, making it a perfect addition for fans of indie comics, slice-of-life storytelling, and unique, creator-driven narratives.

Life on the Fringe

• The Story: Meet Samuel, a creative soul living in UTown—a decaying, gentrifying neighborhood where the rent is cheap and the characters are colorful. Samuel is trying to navigate the gap between his artistic ambitions and the reality of surviving in a world that feels like it’s moving on without him.

• Authentic Voice: CAB delivers a story that feels lived-in and deeply personal. It explores themes of friendship, artistic integrity, and the struggle to find one's place in an ever-changing urban landscape.

• Distinctive Visuals: Known for their dynamic character designs and expressive linework, CAB’s art brings the streets of UTown to life with a "lo-fi" aesthetic that is both nostalgic and modern.

• Critically Acclaimed: Initially gaining a massive following as a webcomic, this expanded print edition from Oni Press allows readers to experience the full scope of Samuel’s journey in a high-quality physical format.
