Gabriel Ba talks to Gerard

[ofyourdeath.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever realized how our lives can change at any given moment? Have you noticed how we can plan ahead all we want, but we're always surprised by the unexpected? And that, afterwards, we end up with a sum of moments, both good and bad, that really define who we are, what we want, and what we love? Well, such roller coasters of ordinary life happen every day, and that's what DAYTRIPPER is about."

That's part of our "On the Ledge" text that can be read on every Vertigo book this month and also here.

DAYTRIPPER is 10 issues mini-series and it's a story about life and all the little moments that ask the big questions. It's an adventure just like life itself, a journey where it's not so important where you're going, but how you get there.

Fábio and I are really excited about this. More than the day this idea struck me, more than the day the project was accepted, now the time has come for it to become a reality. We gave a long interview to Comic Book Resources almost a month ago about the series, but now this is actually happening and we want everyone to be there when it does!

I was talking to Gerard last week, chatting about life, traveling, comics and music, and we talked a lot about Daytripper. How could we not? Fábio had the camera ready and we got it all recorded, just so we could share this very special conversation about our very special project.

DAYTRIPPER #1 will be on the stands this wednesday, December 9th, and you should all go to your favorite comic-stores and be part of this story.

He uses an Umbrella Academy mug. You have no idea how much that made my day.

I hope it's not the darkhorse one 'cause that one has lead in the paint.

[thebiologicshow.livejournal.com]

It probably is. And he probably doesn't care, haha. Someone did bring up a good point a while back that since it's only known to be harmful in the state of California, it won't hurt anyone else. But he's a Californian now. So he's gotta watch out.

And if he were living anywhere but CA he'd be fine according to their warning. My Tara McPherson one from Dark Horse has lead paint in too, living in the UK im fine though apparently.

[thebiologicshow.livejournal.com]

Haha we had the same train of thought!

[mourning-night.livejournal.com]

Obviously he needs to move back to NJ so he isn't needing to worry anymore. *g*

[thebiologicshow.livejournal.com]

Clearly! We should alert him at once! :P

I always want to poke him in the back to make him stand up straight... even though I'm a notorious sloucher myself.

[cherry-road.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :3
