Mermaid Project #4

Two figures in wetsuits race across choppy open water in a red inflatable dinghy, bearing down on a large sailing vessel whose white sails billow dramatically against a stormy sky — it's a cover that immediately radiates tension and maritime adventure. Mermaid Project Deel 4, brought to life by Léo, Jamar, and Simon for Dargaud, delivers the kind of beautifully rendered nautical intrigue that European bandes dessinées do so well. If you've been following this series through 2017, this fourth installment looks like exactly the escalation you've been waiting for.
