“Daytripper is absolutely breathtaking. Both the writing and the illustrations are beautiful, and the combination is powerful. Moon and Bá . . . create a masterpiece within the traditional constraints of the medium. If you love comic books and you’re looking for a great story, DAYTRIPPER is a must-read.” –WIRED/Geek Dad

“It's a comic that lingers in the head, with powerful writing and vivid art that are a pleasure to behold. . . . The main character dies again and again, forcing readers to contemplate the fragility of life.” –USA TODAY/Pop Candy

On the heels of winning the Eisner Award for Best Limited Series, the incredible collection DAYTRIPPER, by the Brazilian twins Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, goes back to press for a 4th printing!

A journey about life through the many deaths of its protagonist Brás, DAYTRIPPER is raw, heartbreaking, visually stunning and not to be missed. If you haven’t picked it up yet, there’s no better time than the present.

Gabriel Bá describes what it was like for him, and his twin brother Fábio Moon, to win the Eisner Award last Friday evening in the category Best Limited Series for DAYTRIPPER.

I still can't believe it.

How can I describe all these feelings? That warmth in my chest, cold in my gut, the overwhelming doubt that makes my mind unable to really focus on anything else than the chances of winning or losing.

Since the moment the Eisner nominees were announced, I was really nervous about it. I didn't want anything to ruin the great feeling we have for this series or stain the great run of the book with something that could be seen as a failure. I didn't want to disappoint the readers who liked the book so much and as much as it wouldn't change the story or anything, losing the Eisner would leave that bad taste in my mouth that would have been hard to shake. Nervous and scared, I was looking down when they were announcing the nominees and I didn't even see which image they put on the screen for our book.

Gladly, we won. The tension and fear that haunted me for three months vanished the moment Louise Simonson said "DAYTRIPPER" and we started shouting. I felt relieved. Everything could go back to normal.

DAYTRIPPER is the most personal and intense story we've ever told and we couldn't be happier with the response we've been getting from everyone. Greatest thing about coming to San Diego every year is getting to meet creators and readers who come to us and tell about the book, the story, the characters. And I'm always impressed by how many people go to watch the Eisner ceremony and it's awesome when they come on Saturday and congratulate you. It's great to see people happy for you. That's the great achievement of this book, touching people and making them feel good about life. We live in a world full of terrible things happening and we almost forget how magical it is to be alive.

Thanks again for this wonderful trip.

--Gabriel Bá

It’s no secret that DAYTRIPPER is an exquisite book--one that puts life in perspective through the many deaths of its protagonist Bras.

Well, I’m excited to share that DAYTRIPPER is on the NEW YORK TIMES Graphic Book Paperback Bestseller List at #1 this week--- again! It debuted at #1 two weeks ago when it was first released.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS features an interview with twin brothers Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon and the book appears in this week's issue of NEW YORK MAGAZINE on the Approval Matrix.

And if that’s not enough, Blair Butler raved about DAYTRIPPER on G4 TV's Attack of the Show, which aired Monday, saying, "One of the best things I've read all year, DAYTRIPPER gets my highest recommendation."

This Valentine’s Day I asked the Vertigo editors to pick a few couples from both classic and current Vertigo titles that defy our expectations of coupledom. I hope you enjoy this unique twist on the holiday we love to not love.

Let’s start off with Will Dennis’ picks:

DASH & CAROL RED CROW from SCALPED
I wouldn’t call them happy but they had a pretty good run. It’s hard when you are each other’s heroin...and you’re using heroin at the same time. I don’t think Hallmark makes a card for that.

MATTY & ZEE from DMZ
Again another couple that’s off again/on again is probably not a model for Valentine’s Day romance. Still, when you live in a bombed out war-zone and each day could be your last, it’s nice to have a FWB.

SHELLEY BOND & JOHN CONSTANTINE
I never really saw them together since he’s a bit of a cad and sort of stuck in the Seventies. oh wait...now that I say that, it makes total sense. I really wish them the best in their new marriage and I look forward to more covers featuring Shelly. ya know, like iZOMBIE, DONOR, NEW YORK FIVE, CINDERELLA, etc, etc

In response Shelly Bond says, “That guy needs a reality show.” Here are her picks:

SNOW WHITE & BIGBY WOLF from FABLES
She’s likely to be wearing a demure business suit.
He’s hirsute.
“Isn’t it Romantic?” By Rodgers and Hart
See where it all began in FABLES Vol. 3: STORYBOOK LOVE

JOHN CONSTANTINE & EPIPHANY GREAVES from HELLBLAZER
She’s a 23-year-old smoking hot alchemist/gangster’s daughter
He’s a 58-year-old chain-smoking, pint guzzling, detective of the dark arts who’s still missing a thumb
“Heroes” by Bowie
See them get hitched in HELLBLAZER #275

GWEN & ? from iZOMBIE
Monster Hunter, Mummy Guy or Mutt/Were-terrier?
One gorgeous blue-haired, violet skinned brain eater, so little time...left...that she can remember...
Get into it from the grave site in iZOMBIE: DEAD TO THE WORLD, out next month!)
“Love is the Drug” by Roxy Music

FIG KEELE & HARRY THE HOUSE from HOUSE OF MYSTERY

Last, but not least, Karen Berger gives her picks:

SWAMP THING and ABBY from SWAMP THING
He went to Hell and back for her—how could she not fall for the guy?

JESSE CUSTER and TULIP O'HARE from PREACHER
The most dangerous couple in comics survived treachery, separation, death, and resurrection—if that’s not true love, then what is?

YORICK and 355 from Y: THE LAST MAN
Turns out the woman of his dreams was by his side the whole time—his bodyguard—you gotta love it!

BRAS and ANA from DAYTRIPPER
