"Life on the Faultline" kicks off a trio of interconnected stories in Detour #1, a 1997 release from Alternative Press. Written and drawn entirely by Ed Brubaker, the issue follows a man navigating a bleak, oppressive world while clashing with his unsympathetic roommates and wrestling with his own fading sense of integrity. The raw, personal storytelling and stark visuals—both by Brubaker—set a quietly intense tone, with the cover by Brubaker capturing the story’s claustrophobic edge.
