Until I Die: Vol 1 [9781737212690]

Overview

Until I Die is a dark, high-octane comic by Jason A. Sterr that mixes espionage thriller grit with razor-sharp satire. The story follows Dan Robbo, a man who has always lived under someone else’s script—singing other people’s songs, acting in studio-produced films, and carrying out covert assassinations for the CIA. His world unravels when he crosses paths with one of the most powerful men alive, forcing him to break free of his lifelong obedience and finally make choices for himself.
At the heart of the book is a clever send-up of conspiracy lore, especially the decades-old whispers that the Rat Pack—Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and company—weren’t just crooners and entertainers but pawns of the intelligence community. Sterr plays with these shadowy legends, weaving them into a brutal yet tongue-in-cheek world of secret missions, glamorous façades, and ugly truths lurking beneath Hollywood’s golden glow.
As Dan’s past collides with a journalist digging into his CIA ties and Rat Pack connections, the novel delivers both hard-hitting action and sly commentary on how pop culture, politics, and power have always been entangled. Until I Die is a conspiracy-tinged ride that thrills, shocks, and makes you smirk at the madness of it all.
