Sailor Twain is a charming graphic novel. We follow a river boat captain who traverses the Hudson River. He is a hard-working, dedicated captain until he pulls a wounded mermaid out of the water and hides/nurses her to health. After which, he becomes obsessed with her. An obsession which changes him.
I loved this book. This is a great starter graphic novels for those who are interested in the genre but don't know where to begin. The story is fun and mystical but unfortunately short. For me, this was a two-day read.
The graphics are completely in pencil. Here is once such drawing, which is a bit of a spoiler, please forgive me:
