ABOUT

DRIFTER: Omnia is an oversized deluxe hardcover collecting the critically acclaimed graphic novel DRIFTER in one definitive remastered edition. Co-created by writer Iván Brandon and artist Nic Klein, Drifter is a meditative sci-fi "western" that asks the core question of what it means to be an individual. The design rebuilds the story as one monumental object: oversized, offset printed, wrapped in a graphic broken signal in space, slowly revealing itself through design as the story unfolds.

Originally serialised, the publication design of Drifter was inspired by the Baudot Code. Using the signal pattern as a starting point, a remastered living identity was developed that evolves with the story: starting as a broken signal on a grid, always evolving and slowly revealing itself with the characters, resulting in a unique and design-first approach to packaging the story: a broken transmission in space that becomes clearer as you go deeper. From slipcase to a die-cut cover, revealing more as the book opens; setting the stage for the immersive reading experience.

DRIFTER: Omnia sits at the crossroads of both the sensibilities of American sci-fi and Western storytelling through the medium of comics; and the artistic craft of European Bande Déssinees — and received praise for its artistic impact, visuals and packaging: a hybrid of visual art and design.
