Brian Azzarello, Stephanie Phillips, Danijel Žeželj, and Lee Loughridge embark on a new space mission in DSTLRY’s upcoming six-issue sci-fi series titled LIFE.
LIFE will explore the lives of monstrous, near-immortal prisoners and intergalactic thieves in an innovative flip book format, dealing out equal attention to each specific groups point of view.
Phillips and Azzarello described the new comic in a joint statement and said “LIFE is about justice—and that being given more life isn’t necessarily a gift. It explores incarceration and culture through the extreme filter of crime fiction. It’s confrontational, though Danijel makes it incredibly seductive to look at. The flipbook design allows us to develop two narrative perspectives that will clash and segue through a prison break and a heist. Pick your poison.”
Artist Žeželj added, “World building on LIFE has been immensely rewarding, allowing me to approach this brutal ecosystem from two very different angles. DSTLRY’s oversized format allows so much more freedom to accomplish that feat.”
DSTLRY Co-Founders Chip Mosher & David Steinberger are excited to pair Phillips and Azzarello together and said “Stephanie, Brian, and Danijel are responsible for some of the most transgressive and challenging comics the medium can call its own, and LIFE amplifies that experimentation. This series pushes boundaries in both form and function. It’s simply arresting.”
Each issue of LIFE is presented in DSTLRY’s perfect-bound Prestige format, with a full cover art on the front and back.
The first issue of LIFE features 56 pages, and subsequent issues will consist of 48 pages each.
