It’s a good day for previews over at the official Vertigo blog, Graphic Content. Pamela Mullins has posted some pages from Peter Bagge’s Other Lives, which is due from the publisher next year. She also shares more preview pages from Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon’s Daytripper, which comes out in December. And lastly, check out the cover to Joe the Barbarian #2.

Daytrippin’ with Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon this December
Daytripper #1
Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon, who you might remember from such great comics as The Umbrella Academy, Casanova, Pixu and De:TALES, among others, have a new book called Daytripper coming out from Vertigo later this year — “a Brazilian slice-of-life limited series, featuring beautiful women, friendships, family and complete unpredictability,” according to the Vertigo blog.
This book has been a bit under my radar; I haven’t heard much about it beyond a little convention talk at some of Vertigo’s panels this past year, so it’s good to see it on the schedule and to see some preview art, which you can find at the link above.

Free the PIXU Four: A chat with Bá, Cloonan, Lolos, and Moon
The cover to the hardcover edition of PIXU, coming July 2009 from Dark Horse Comics
Dark Horse recently revealed it will publish a hardcover collection of PIXU, a unique four-way collaboration between award-winning creators Gabriel Bá, Becky Cloonan, Vasilis Lolos and Fábio Moon. Previously released as two self-published issues, PIXU is a horror comic book that tells the story of an apartment building full of haunted individuals, and the PIXU itself, a supernatural mark that portends great evil.
The four PIXU creators are scattered across the globe — with Cloonan living in Brooklyn, twin brothers Moon and Bá in São Paulo, Brazil, and Lolos splitting his time between Brooklyn and Athens, Greece. The book is at once a story, an experiment and a reflection of their tight friendship — four disparate, distant and visionary mad scientists becoming one through the magical act of creating comics together. Best of all, the book is creepy as all hell.
The original issues of PIXU were printed at a limited run of 1,000 copies each — but you can still find these handcrafted soon-to-be-eBay-bait comics at Khepri.com.
To celebrate the July release of the hardcover edition, we reached out to the PIXU quartet to find out the secret history of the book, and their own origins in the world of horror.
