Wilde Life

by Pascalle Lepas

Oscar rented an old house off craigslist, then things got weird...

First it was meeting the ghost of a 1940s mathematician in the upstairs hallway, then it was finding a teenage werewolf in the bathtub. Now Oscar doesn't know what will show up next. Maybe that's okay, as long as nothing eats him.

Wilde Life is a supernatural adventure/horror series set in a small town in rural Oklahoma. It focuses on stories about creatures from Native American mythology as witnessed and documented by a journalist from Chicago, Illinois.

Found this web comic just yesterday and already finished and loved it!
I can't wait for the next issues!
The story is really interesting and funny and the artwork is pretty amazing!

Ok, I read the first 6 chapters of this webcomic, so I feel comfortable adding this in addition to vol 1. I never quite know how to translate webcomics to goodreads unless they release paper editions. Anyway, this is totally charming and addictive and wonderful. Right up my alley. Kind of like Being Human without all the pesky angst (so far).

Beautiful graphic novel about a writer named Oscar Wilde and his new life in Podunk, Oklahoma (population 20...plus a few spirits here and there).

After following the comic online for some time I was so excited that Lepas has started the publication of the actual book form of the first volume. I can't wait to see what shenanigans she gets her characters into next.

not super sold on the diction/dialogue but the art is gorgeous and the characters are endearing. I like the inclusion of Native folklore but wish there were some more context around the mythology. It still seems early in the series though so I'm still hopeful for more to come and will continue to follow.

I really enjoyed reading this and am excited to continue when more is posted. It was not what I was expecting. It was recommended by a friend and instead of look into what it was or ask I just started reading and happy that is what I did. It was a nice escape into a fantasy/magic world and get out of the real world. I have already recommended it to multiple people!

Very sweet and a good premise, but not for me.

Great artwork, cool premise. A fun introduction to the comic.

WOW!!! OMG!!! This is a great comic. Love the story line, love the artwork, and love that I'm also from Oklahoma (though not Podunk!) I want more!

Gorgeous art, lovely characters, and a beautiful mix of humour, horror, fun adventures, and RL issues. Definitely one of my latest favpurites!

art, atmosphere, character, tension, narrative cohesion. probably the best webcomic of the past 10 years.

[Stefan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story, I love the MC. This is one of the best made comics I have read and the art is great as well. There are some fairly heavy themes but it's handled very well.

I just read the volume one graphic novel, which isn't listed here yet. Can't wait for volume 2!

Pascalle Lepas really knows how to write a story. Not only is the art fantastic (it just keeps getting better as the series progresses) and the subject matter interesting and well researched, she also employs real story-telling techniques. The pacing is great, each chapter tells stories that reveal more about the world, and moves the main story along a little at a time. Every panel is detailed and deliberate. Re-reading always reveals more to the reader than the first go. The character development is realistic, but the characters themselves are consistent and relate-able. This is the most well executed comic I've ever read.
