SAILOR TWAIN OR THE MERMAID IN THE HUDSON, 10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

MARK SIEGEL

This is the tenth anniversary edition of Mark Siegel's New York Times–bestselling "haunting Gilded Age graphic novel about love, lust, and mermaids." (The Today Show) When a riverboat captain rescues an injured mermaid from the waters of the busiest port in the United States, he unleashes a calamity that only true love—if such a thing is possible—could avert. A mysterious and beguiling love story with elements of Poe, Twain, Hemingway, and Greek mythology, Sailor Twain is a study in romance, atmosphere, and suspense. In this brand new edition, Sailor Twain is printed larger than ever before, showcasing the charcoal artwork in all its glory. It also includes a ton of new backmatter, such as an author’s note about the inspiration behind the story, an insider's look at Mark Siegel's unique and painstaking creative process, and never-before-seen tribute art from beloved comic artists like Ben Hatke and Vera Brosgol.
