Hippie Trail

Elléa Bird’s Hippie Trail (2020–present, Steinkis) follows the journey of a young woman retracing the legendary overland route from Europe to India, a path once taken by 1960s counterculture seekers. Through vivid, atmospheric art, Bird explores the gap between the romanticized past and the present-day reality of travel, migration, and self-discovery. This single-issue comic offers a thoughtful, visually rich meditation on the enduring allure of the road.
