Daytripper

Brás, an obituary writer in São Paulo, meets a different death at the end of each chapter—at different ages and under wildly varying circumstances. Authors Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá use this structural device not as a time-travel or superhero gimmick, but as a meditation on how the choices and contingencies of a single life shape its meaning.

Yes, they are Brazilian identical twins and frequent collaborators, having also worked together on Casanova (with Matt Fraction) and The Umbrella Academy (drawn by Gabriel Bá, written by Gerard Way). Daytripper, published by DC's Vertigo imprint in 2010, is one of their most personal and critically acclaimed creator-owned works.

Daytripper was originally serialized as a ten-issue miniseries from Vertigo Comics in 2010 before being collected into a single trade paperback. The collected edition is the format most commonly found in bookstores today.

Daytripper defies easy genre classification—it's best described as literary magical realism rather than fantasy or science fiction. The deaths are metaphorical 'what-ifs' rather than literal alternate timelines, drawing comparison to the work of Brazilian literary tradition and Latin American magical realism.
