Den vita valen #[nn]

Will Eisner's distinctive storytelling craft meets one of literature's greatest adventures in this 1998 Swedish-language adaptation of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick. The cover, illustrated entirely by Eisner himself, plunges us straight into the chaos of the hunt — a massive white whale surging through churning green seas while a small wooden boat and its crew are tossed violently in the creature's wake. It's a vivid, kinetic image that makes a strong case for why Eisner was one of comics' most versatile talents, equally at home adapting literary giants as he was with original work.
