The Last Mermaid Book One [Paperback]

“Epic. Heart-breaking. Utterly gorgeous. You’ll love every panel of this sprawling saga.” —Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese)

The Last Mermaidis a post-apocalyptic adventure that is perfect for fans of lush, animation-style artwork like that ofIsola,Low, and classic Miyazaki.

A lone mermaid roams an endless wasteland on a quest beyond reason. To press ever onward, she must survive the interminable stretches between tiny pockets of water, roaming bands of cybernetic cannibals and fearsome mutant beasts. What propels her forward to take such a risk? And who is that cloaked figure watching her from afar…?
