“Piggy Back”

In the near future, where the world is crisscrossed by towering super-highways, truckers like Gypsy are both rebels and legends. Twelve years after leaving his sister behind at an orphanage, he’s surprised when she shows up, ready to ride shotgun on his long, dangerous runs. Written by Thierry Smolderen and brought to life with gritty, immersive art by Enrico Marini—pencils, inks, colors, and letters all by the same hand—this story captures a raw, intimate bond forged in the roar of engines and the endless road. The cover, by Oscar Chichoni, sets the tone with a striking, surreal vision of the journey ahead.
