PORTLAND, Ore. 08/20/2024 — Eisner Award winning cartoonist Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Mirror, I.D.) will both write and draw the upcoming, original graphic novel, Anzuelo. This beautiful, feast-for-the-eyes standalone story is set to hit shelves this Fall from Image Comics.
In Anzuelo, the Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, rises 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.
“No matter how carefully you plan a project like this, the work and the creator always transform and adapt due to learning and experimentation. I wanted to write the Sea under my skin and I’m fortunate to have become someone else in the process,” said Ríos.
A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope. Anzuelo is a breathtaking, Dystopian story with an expansive scope and style perfect for fans of the organic universes of Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram’s Little Bird and Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon’s Daytripper.
Anzuelo original graphic novel hardcover (ISBN: 979-8368809267, Lunar Code 0924IM243) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 19.
Anzuelo will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
