Daytripper

Do we ever think about the things that we take for granted can just go away in a flash, like snap of fingers ? We live like as if we are going to live forever and make plans and make promises over a dozen things in our daily life. But while lying to ourselves, we forget that we live in a parallel world where we cannot control all that surrounds us. Daytripper is one such revelation by Gabrial Ba and Fabio Moon. Daytripper is an excellent work by the brazilian duo Gabrial and Fabio. It is serene, lyrical and mesmerizing.

Daytripper is a series of ten issues from DC comics. Each issue is set in Brazil and Bras plays the central character where he hops between an old man to a child. The simplicity with which daytripper conveys its notion is extraordinary. Read it for a lingering and resonating experience.

From the writers of The Umbrella Academy Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba, comes a gentle and soothing tale of Bras, an obituary writer for a popular daily. The story twists and turns into labyrinths of fate giving the readers glimpses of "would have been"s and "could have been"s.

The story very soothingly explores the possibilities of the way fate turning out in a man's life and how few relationships are very delicately intertwined.

An exploration of life, death and regrets wrapped in beautiful ink and artwork.
A must collect for those who enjoy a tangential philosophical story presented in graphic novel format

Dont let the title fool you. this book has nothing to do with the beatles or drugs.
Its a beautifully quiet story that leaves you thinking about life and death, as the protagonist continuously dies through the book revealing different sides of his life and moods, continuously giving the feeling of incompleteness. I loved how it all came together in the end and left me with a peaceful and complete feeling.
A truly wise book.
