Description
Book SynopsisEmma, a newly single cartoonist in her thirties, impulsively finds herself standing in Roncesvalles with her gaze fixed on Santiago de Compostela. Following the pilgrimage route known as The Way of St. James, she realizes the path she is traveling is bringing her closer to and somehow farther away from everyone around her, that the weight of her backpack is more than the clothes and pans inside, and that what she believed to be a simple walk to get some miles behind her (and her past) is a chance to learn not only about the people she meets along the way, but also herself.
Creators Paco Hernández & José Ángel Ares bring you a story of friendship, family and learning. An emotional journey from which no one will return being the same.
Trade Review"On The Way follows Emma on a breathtaking journey across Spain. A priest assures the comics writer and artist that she is far from alone in hiking The Way Of Saint John for nonreligious reasons. Yet she experiences the everyday miracles he promised on her month-long trek. What Emma learns during the Camino De Santiago empowers her to reassess her life and make decisions regarding her future. Score: 9.6/10" --The Comic Book Dispatch
"On the Way is very good. What makes the book wonderful (and it is wonderful) is how Hernández creates the characters and allows their stories to unfold. The art is terrific, too. Ares lives in Santiago de Compostela, so he knows the landmarks and landscapes of northern Spain well, and there’s a wonderful sense of place in this book. Rating: 9 out of 10" -ATOMIC JUNK SHOP
