I don't know if my opinion will turn anyone into reading this book, as it is a deeply personal one, but here's my take on my favorite vertigo book. I generally have problems coming up with a "favorite comic" but now I have found it. Daytripper by the brazilian twins Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba is easily one of the most beautifully made comics I've recently read. It resonates with me, not because I can relate to Bras (I can't), but because it uses magic-realism, a style which is used a lot in Latin American literature (for some examples, check 100 Years of Solitude or a more recent, and comic related book, The Life and Times of Oscar Wao) and which, for me, gives it a sort of familiar texture to it, which makes me appreciate it more beyond just the gorgeous art and beautiful writing.

that you actually end up blushing on his behalf. One when he attended ECCC and had to be dragged out to be social and then confessed his chivalrous love for the lady who draws the Cinderella covers, and a more recent one where he talked about writers and their niches. If he'd drawn them as wordless comics, it would have gone much better.
