The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Get a first look at Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon's Daytripper series.

The solicit:

They were two of Entertainment Weekly's Top 100 stars to watch. They've won multiple Eisners and have worked with the top names of comics and pop culture from Joss Whedon (Sugar Shock) and Mike Mignola (BPRD: 1947) to Gerard Way (Umbrella Academy) and Matt Fraction (Casanova).

Now, Brazilian wonder twins Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá are back writing and drawing in a hauntingly lyrical series set in their native Brazil. With DAYTRIPPER, they follow in the tradition of Craig Thompson, Paul Pope and David Mazzucchelli – cartoonists at the top of their game making comics about the quiet moments that ask big questions.

Brás de Oliva Domingos is an obituary writer with a famous father, a career he hates, and tons of questions. How does a person become a successful writer? How does a man get out of his father's shadow? But those concerns will dwarf the surprise he'll find in the first issue – a twist both he and readers will never see coming, which will grow into a mystery about the meaning of life itself.

This looks great. Other than De: Tales, what of Ba and Moon's written stuff has been published in the US?

I thought this would be about Amanda Sefton.

I'm strapped for cash, but I'm tempted to cop this.

I'm waiting a little while longer for the Umbrella Academy incase they do a library edition.

I'm surprised Marvel or DC haven't signed these guys.

They've been doing those giant $75 deluxe hardcovers. It's pretty extreme pricing for 6 issue minis, but apparently the MCR cutters are willing to shell out for it.

I think it's going to be a looooooong time before they do any HC's outside of that format, but at least DH trades are nicer than most and priced pretty well. If they did eventually do it in Library Editions like the Hellboy books, I'll probably double dip.

Oh yeah, and I'm looking forward to Daytripper. I <3 Ba & Moon.

at cutters. Always good for a laugh.

I've seen those and no way am I buying them, it's as bad as some of the Absolutes.
