Publisher's Synopsis

Danish cartoonist Rikke Villadsen makes her English language debut with this playfully creepy and oddly beautiful seafaring tale. When a shocked fisherman pulls up his net to find a newborn baby and a talking fish, the unlikely shipmates embark on a journey filled with madness that doesn't just bubble beneath the surface of the water but drenches the sailor - and the reader - like a tidal wave. Depicted in distinctive graphite, The Sea is ultimately about the end of one life, the beginning of another, and a man literally and figuratively lost at sea.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
