A semiautobiographical comic by Ethan Young, the acclaimed writer and artist of Nanjing: The Burning City and The Battles of Bridget Lee graphic novel series

In this blend of autobiography and fantasy, a cartoonist records his life in New York City: his job, his creative career, his friends, his herd of cats, and a runaway comic strip come to life!

Ethan's life as one of the many cartoonists living in NYC might look mundane at first glance--living with his parents, working a day job, playing with cats. But things get crazy when he starts to draw his comic strip Crusader Cat! Soon, Ethan can't tell the difference between real life and the comic panel!

Praise for Life Between Panels

"Young's style is fresh and accessible, conveying . . . remarkable emotional tones through subtle use of lines, and consistently emphasizes the power of inking. It's not surprising that Young finds plenty of work as an illustrator based upon his eye for striking single panel compositions, but his layouts and pacing are also memorable."--The Beat

Praise for Ethan Young's Nanjing: The Burning City:

"In Nanjing, cartoonist Ethan Young tells an intimate story against an epic landscape. Bold, heart-breaking, and gorgeously rendered."--Eisner and Printz Award-winning writer/artist Gene Luen Yang (Boxers & Saints, American Born Chinese)
