“One for the road” is a widely used toast around the English-speaking world. The origin of this expression is linked to the London tradition of offering a drink to those sentenced to death during the journey of the approximately three miles which separated them from Tyburn Tree and the gallows. At that time, the executions were festive occasions, and it is estimated that between 1196 and 1783 40,000 to 60,000 sentences were carried out.

“One for the road”, a common dedication of the final drink of the evening to the road, here becomes the pretext to tell the story – in 19 rounds and, of course, a toast – of a man without a face and his last night, spent at the counter of a bar revealing himself and his long lost love to an unnamed party. Characters freely inspired by the Lone Ranger and his faithful horse Silver, together they will launch themselves into a long gallop through the no man’s land that separates dreams from reality.

Foreword by Jack Hirschman, illustrations by Enzo Santambrogio, cover by Enrico Cazzaniga. Translated by Peter Storrey.
