Daytripper



The first volume of the highly praised comic series about the importance of living life to its fullest.

The acclaimed Daytripper follows Bras de Olivias Dominguez during different periods in his life, each with the same ending: his death.

Daytripper follows the life of one man, Bras de Olivias Dominguez. Every chapter features an important period in Bras’ life in exotic Brazil, and each story ends the same way: with his death. And then, the following story starts up at a different point in his life, oblivious to his death in the previous issue—and then also ends with him dying again. In every chapter, Bras dies at different moments in his life, as the story follows him through his entire existence—one filled with possibilities of happiness and sorrow, good and bad, love and loneliness. Each issue rediscovers the many varieties of daily life, in a story about living life to its fullest—because any of us can die at any moment.

Poignant, heartfelt and thoughtful, this comics landmark is one of the most transcendent pieces of graphic storytelling ever to hit the printed page. Brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba truly compose one of the industry's masterworks.

Praise for Daytripper

"DAYTRIPPER #1 is very contemplative. . . . Told with such sparse elegance and beauty that I was immediately enchanted. . . . The art . . . is phenomenal."--iFANBOY, Pick of the Week
"[DAYTRIPPER] has me hooked for more. . . . A great book for those looking for something different in their comic book reading experience. Definitely give this book a shot."--IGN
"DAYTRIPPER is a highly recommended series. The art is warm and beautifully expressive as Moon and Bá pull off some of the best facial ticks this side of Kevin Maguire, and the story is wistful and urgent at the same time, demanding your attention."--BROKEN FRONTIER
"The texture of the art and the story both suggest this will be a memorable project."--THE ONION
"An experience that will resonate with you long after you have put the book down."--Becky Cloonan (DEMO)
