The voice of an author



Daytripper by Fabio Moon & Gabriel Ba had a strong voice that went along well with the art style. The story also translates well into a graphic novel. I think the voice of the author in this depressing because of the reoccurring theme of death throughout the comic. The structure of the dialogue retains the personality of Bras while the purple narration texts explain what Bras is thinking about. For example, when he was having a conversation with his mother on the phone he was trying his best to seem okay but afterwards when he begins to work on his writing, Bras begins to break down as the narration explains what is going on in his mind. The author’s voice makes you think and revaluate your own life, for example during the moment where Genarinho’s nephew came into the bar to take his money, they were discussing about family. Ironically, many bad things happen at the end and I don’t want to spoil it. The comic is short and pretty fast paced as a lot of events happened but feels complete. I think the author’s voice was successful in trying to get the idea across in a short amount of time.
