TERM LIFE

What would you do if you had a family to care for, but everyone from the mob to dirty cops wanted you dead?

Writer AJ Lieberman (COWBOY NINJA VIKING) and artist Nick Thornborrow (The Anthology Project) ask just this question of the hero of their new graphic novel TERM LIFE, coming in January 2011 from Image Comics.

"Coming off COWBOY NINJA VIKING, I wanted to write something a little less... insane," says Lieberman. "And I wanted it to have a lot less Vikings. I'm a huge fan of crime fiction. TERM LIFE is a puzzle -- a bloody, violent puzzle! Our hero is trying to do one very simple thing: stay alive for the next 21 days. But the great thing about crime fiction is that the hero rarely gets what he wants.

"I'd say if you're into Brubaker, Cooke, or Lapham, this is right in your wheelhouse. If, on the other hand, you buy your comics for the stunning art, you're in luck; TERM LIFE has that in spades!" Lieberman adds.

TERM LIFE: If Nick Barrow can stay alive for 21 days, he'll die happy. Everyone Nick knows wants him dead: mob bosses, contract killers, and dirty cops. Performing the last act of a desparate man, Nick takes out a million-dollar insurance policy on himself, payable to his estranged daughter. The problem? The policy doesn't take effect for 21 days. 21 days? Nick knows he'll be lucky to be alive for 21 hours...

TERM LIFE (NOV100427), a 144-page, full-color graphic novel written by AJ Lieberman and drawn by Nick Thornborrow, will be on sale January 12^th, 2011, for $16.99.
