Three old friends reunite for the mother of all road trips! One of Spain’s most brilliant graphic novelists finally makes his English-language debut in this elegantly unpredictable gem.

Polly, Moho, and Piter haven’t seen each other in years. Now they’ve piled into a car for a loooong journey to a mysterious cross marked on a map. All their old personality quirks and conflicts are resurrected with new wrinkles as this surreal reunion gets underway. Up ahead are car chases, alcohol, roadside motels, banjo-playing thugs, a ship graveyard, violence, sensual tension, and, of course, a monkey!

The captivating first graphic novel from internationally renowned cartoonist Álvaro Ortiz is an explosive mix of emotional road movie and hooligan thriller in which nothing is what it seems.

Ashes is an award nominated title, including multiple Eisner Awards and the Harvey Awards, as well as Finalist in the Excellence in Graphic Literature Award for the Best in Adult Fiction!

Praise for Ashes

“Álvaro Ortiz mixes The Sopranos, The Wire, The Bridges of Madison County, Paul Auster, and David Lynch in a blender, and instead of mint leaves he adds a pinch of his morbid but amazing imagination, which gives the authentic flavor to the story. Oh, how I hate wicked Ortiz for his way of drawing! How I hate him for the magic his urban and rural landscapes exude! How I wish he would slip in the bathtub whenever I watch the incredible humanity of his characters!” —Alfonso Zapico, author of Café Budapest and James Joyce: Portrait of a Dubliner
