The Lifer

    (Cassandra, 2006)
™ and © Cassandra

The Lifer is a Greek comic strip translated into English and presented to North American audiences. The strip has certainly carved out a niche in comics by being like nothing else on the market. Sentenced to 622 years in solitary, the Lifer reflects on the darkest of black humor while sitting endlessly in his dank cell. Along for the ride in this den of striped clothes, bad food and long stretches of boredom is the mordant Montecristo, a disgusting rat with a foul mouth and a taste for sarcasm. No bad day can’t be made worse by Montecristo’s acerbic observations.

Bleak, depressing, and devoid of hope, The Lifer may convince you that maybe your life isn’t so bad.
