Highwayman

Israeli cartoonist Koren Shadmi (Love Addict, The Abaddon) turns to science fiction in a sprawling, ambitious journey across time and space.

Forever on the move, Highwayman travels through the vastness of North America searching for the source of his condition. He suffers from a strange, seemingly incurable disease: immortality. Bound to the road and at the mercy of whomever will give him a ride, he encounters people who reflect the rapidly changing world around him. Moving through centuries of change, he watches humanity's precarious trajectory towards an unknown future.“A bewitching and fascinating roadtrip… with impeccable writing and narration.” — Planete BD

“Shadmi intrigues with his mysteries and his evocative skill, asking more questions than he answers.” — BoDoï

"Shadmi skillfully mixes together [a] sweeping kind of mystical scientism with an on-the-ground epic of personal journey... the best sort of science fiction." — Comics BeatKoren Shadmi is an Israeli-American, Brooklyn-based graphic novelist and illustrator.
