Finder: Sin-Eater

In the first two issues of Finder: Sin-Eater, Carla Speed McNeil introduced readers to her richly imagined world of the far-future city of Anvard, where a mysterious outcast known as the Finder navigates a complex web of tribal identities and personal honor. Published by Lightspeed Press in 1999–2000, this series established the dense, character-driven storytelling and meticulous, expressive artwork that would define McNeil’s acclaimed Finder universe. As the opening chapter of a sprawling, award-nominated saga, Sin-Eater matters for its unique blend of science fiction, anthropology, and intimate human drama, all filtered through McNeil’s singular vision.
