Book
Ashes : a comic / by Álvaro Ortiz ; translation by Eva Ibarzábal.
"Polly, Moho, and Piter haven't seen each other in years. Maybe for good reasons. But to help their dead friend reach his final resting place, they've piled into a car for a long and surreal road trip--aided only by a map marked with a mysterious 'x'...and an ex-circus monkey. While our heroes wrestle with the ghosts of their past, up ahead are rusting ships, banjo-playing bounty hunters, plenty of alcohol, awkward silences, shocking violence, and surprising lessons in the history of cremation."-- Book flap.

Summary
Ashes
Three old friends reunite for the mother of all road trips! One of Spain's most brilliant graphic novelists finally makes his English-language debut in this elegantly unpredictable gem. Polly, Moho, and Piter haven't seen each other in years. Now they've piled into a car for a loooong journey to a mysterious cross marked on a map. All their old personality quirks and conflicts are resurrected with new wrinkles as this surreal reunion gets underway. Up ahead are car chases, alcohol, roadside motels, banjo-playing thugs, a ship graveyard, violence, sensual tension, and, of course, a monkey! The captivating first graphic novel from internationally renowned cartoonist lvaro Ortiz is an explosive mix of emotional road movie and hooligan thriller in which nothing is what it seems.
