Young Liars is a recently discontinued graphic novel series by my personal favorite writer/illustrator, David Lapham. I first began obsessing over Lapham's work with the series Stray Bullets which he wrote and illustrated and independently published the series with his wifes help. He had to stop due to lack of funds and he began working for mainstream publishers such as Vertigo. Young Liars, his first series published by Vertigo is basically if Gregg Araki made a comic book. Its got all of the appeals of Doom Generation and Nowhere, such as murder, sex, drugs, flashy costumes and aliens. Young Liars is a story revolving around a bunch of young party kids and the lies that make up our lives at this young age. Young Liars is a fantasy/noir/action/hero series about how nothing is real, life is heartbreak, no one understands and death is the only thing worth counting down towards.
