Set to Sea #[nn]

Drew Weing's Set to Sea opens with a striking view from below a tall ship's masts, where billowing sails fill a deep cobalt night sky and a stout, bear-like figure peers down from the crow's nest. The bold two-tone palette of gold and blue gives the whole image a woodcut-like warmth that feels both adventurous and quietly poetic. Published by Fantagraphics in 2014, this is a beautifully self-contained graphic novel for readers who love the romance of the open ocean told with real artistic care.
