Red Eye, Black Eye

K. Thor Jensen’s Red Eye, Black Eye, published by Alternative Comics in 2007, is a single-issue travelogue that charts a cross-country Greyhound bus journey. Told through Jensen’s distinctive, raw cartooning, the comic captures the gritty humanity and unexpected camaraderie found on America’s long-haul roads. It stands as a potent, personal snapshot of early-2000s indie comics’ fascination with the road trip narrative.
