On the outside, Samantha has it all: money, looks, opportunity, love. But on the inside, Samantha is different. She can’t stop making bad choices. She’s restless and often reckless. In The Wrong Life, we meet Samantha’s family, friends, doctors, lovers, spouse, and her children, all of whom she enlists for help in her constant search for that one elusive thing—happiness.

When Samantha meets Alice, both their lives have fallen into disarray. They develop strong ties as they help each other through dark times. They are soulmates.

Kelly Anne Johnson loves red lipstick, perfectly manicured nails, and strong men. She and Samantha get along so well as college roommates that after school they move together to NYC. Kelly has a lot to say about relationships.

Jay Anthony Russo meets Samantha in high school. He’s been attracted to Samantha forever and regularly shows up wherever she settles—no matter her relationship status.

When Samantha meets Dennis McKenzie, she believes she has found her true love, her protector, and the right life, the one she’s been searching for all this time. Dennis is a celebrated surgeon who adores Samantha, and although he’s aware of her problems, he’s certain he can fix whatever’s wrong and that they’ll be the perfect couple.

And Samantha feels that way too—for a time—until the fear, doubt, and questions creep back in: Did I choose the wrong life? Is there a right life?

This full-color graphic novel asks the question: When does revolution become revenge?

Reeling from the collateral brutality of imperialism, Prince Dakkar, an enlightened intellectual Indian revolutionary leader, is driven from insurgency to a lifetime of uncompromising vengeance as Captain Nemo.

A familiar story, the undersea expression of Captain Nemo's vengeance has been told many times and spawned new, sometimes fanciful, chapters of what comes after Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea.

But . . .
Getting at how and why Prince Dakkar became Captain Nemo requires descending into a dark psychodrama that unfolds across the turbulent landscape of Southern Asia, caught in the rampant colonial expansion of the Victorian Age.

Enter the world of Rage Runs Deep, a timeless allegory about the undesirable but all too predictable consequences of imperialism, which fuels the dark seduction of vengeance justified as revolution.
