Daytripper is an Eisner Award winning ten-issue miniseries written by Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba, with art by Fabio Moon, published by VertigoComics.

Bras de Oliva Domingos is the miracle child of a world-famous Brazilian writer and spends his days penning other people's obituaries and his nights dreaming of becoming a successful author. Over the course of the series, Bras grows up, finds his voice as a writer, and reaches significant milestones in his life, and [[MindScrew dies in almost every issue]]. The series is ultimately about love, loss, and the importance of making every moment in life count.
