Fire on the Water

In Fire on the Water (2020–present, Harry N. Abrams), writer and artist Gary Dumm crafts a single-issue graphic novel that plunges into a tense, waterborne thriller. The story follows a crew aboard a Great Lakes freighter as they confront a mysterious blaze, blending maritime grit with noir-inflected suspense. Dumm’s stark, expressive artwork gives the tale a raw, urgent energy, making this a compact but potent entry in the tradition of American graphic storytelling.
