Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Mirror, I.D.) will both write and draw the upcoming, original graphic novel, Anzuelo. A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope, this beautiful, feast-for-the-eyes standalone story is set to hit shelves this November from Image Comics.
In the new story:
The Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, revolts one day. The horizon folds as the Sea absorbs the world and transforms everything that’s been pulled inside it. Three kids find themselves unmoored and lost, but brought together by the physical and mental changes wrought by the tides and a desire to avoid harming any living creature.
We have an exclusive excerpt below, teasing the gorgeous art style and meditative tone of Ríos new piece of art:
Ríos said about her latest work, “l wanted to write the Sea under my skin and I’m fortunate to become someone else in the process.”
ANZUELO is a dystopian story with an expansive scope and style perfect for fans of organic universes like Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram’s Little Bird and Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon’s Daytripper.

“Anzuelo beckons us on a walkabout and asks us to listen to the sea and know Earth’s creatures as our collaborators in what is to come. You are in good hands with master storyteller Emma Ríos. It’s a beautiful ride. A must-have graphic novel.”
