Wilde Life
Oscar rented an old house off Craigslist, then things got weird... Chicago journalist Oscar Wilde (no, not that one) was just looking for an easy escape, and that's what he thought he would find in an old house in rural Oklahoma. But Oscar had barely set foot inside the old house before strange things started happening, and he soon discovered the house was hiding something else entirely.

One of my rare five star reviews because Wilde Life is one of my favourite comic series. This is a collection of the first three chapters of the story, and I had forgotten how deftly plotted and characterised Lepas' work is. Readers are introduced to Oscar, just a guy, obviously fleeing some demons until he ends up in a podunk town in Oklahoma. Right away, you notice something off about this town. Kids that turn into dogs, ghosts, witches... there's all sorts of things happening in the background that Oscar starts to slowly clue into. This is a magical place, infused with strangeness and power, and I want to see all its secrets unfurled... But first, just bits and pieces. The plot is slow, oh so deliciously slow, very slice-of-life tinged with mystery. It's just a delight and I am super happy to have been able to pick up a copy of the print version :)

I've been following this webcomic for over five years now and it is definitely worth your time! I just did a recent re-read through and I was reminded why I like it so much. The art, story and characters are all great and engaging, the atmosphere so very wistful and lovely. Definitely worth the read.
Only the first three chapters are physically published but the webcomic is up to Chapter Eleven and is updated three times a week (Mon-Wed-Fri) on the website here:

I freakin loved this! I can't express how much I enjoyed reading this! I really hope there's more to come. Oscar is such a loveable character and I hope we get to see into his past to learn what brought him to Podunk Oklahoma. Cliff's character is great too! He's trying to be cold but I can see some heart in there. I want to read more of this!

Great art, fascinating story! My wife got me this for Valentines Day and I tore through it. She showed me this online a while back and I liked it, just can never find time to go online much. Oscar’s intersections with the supernatural world are really interesting and I can’t wait to see where they lead.

I don't remember how far volume 1 goes into the story but this is one of my favorite webcomics. It's beautifully drawn and only gets better the longer it goes. The characters are all interesting and the story is great. It's like a horror comic masquerading as a fun slice of life comic which makes the intense moments very intense.

I forgot when or how I found WILDE LIFE, but I followed it online for awhile before losing track of it. It was such a delight to get back into the start of the story—and now I can catch up online again!

I was hooked from the very first page. The artwork is lovely, the characters are endearing, and the storytelling is excellent. Match that with a friendly 1940s ghost, a grumpy teenage werewolf, and various supernatural monsters, and you've got a book I don't want to put down.

Excellent collection of the first three chapters of the webcomic. An ordinary man moves to nowheresville Oklahoma and supernatural adventure weirdness finds him. Wonderful characters and artwork.

Wonderfully illustrated. Slice of life meets the paranormal. Funny, spooky, ominous, and strangely heartwarming. Give it a look!
Happy Reading

The story-telling chops I began to see in her completed web comic Zap!, are being realized in Pascalle Lepas' on-going web comic Wilde Life (https://wildelifecomic.com). Wonderful characters who continue to develop. Nearly invisible foreshadowing that pays off months and months later. Excellent pacing. Beautiful scenes of nature. Great physical and facial expression. Mysteries. Humour.
Volume #1 was printed through a Kickstarter campaign.
