Pop Life

Ho Che Anderson and Wilfred Santiago brought a raw, personal edge to Pop Life, a five-issue series from Fantagraphics that ran from 1998 to 2000. The comic explored the gritty, often surreal underbelly of urban existence, blending Anderson's stark storytelling with Santiago's expressive artwork. As a showcase for two rising talents at a pivotal indie publisher, it captured the restless energy of late-'90s alternative comics.
