Unsupervised Existence

Terry LaBan's Unsupervised Existence ran for seven issues from 1989 to 1991 under Fantagraphics, offering a sharply observed, offbeat look at the anxieties and absurdities of young adulthood. LaBan, who wrote and drew the entire series, crafted a distinctive voice in the alternative comics scene of the late '80s and early '90s, blending surreal humor with a genuine, low-key pathos. It stands as a memorable, self-contained snapshot of a generation navigating life without a manual.
