Mermaid

James Kochalka’s Mermaid is a single-issue comic from Alternative Press, first released in 1998 and still ongoing, that offers a whimsical, slice-of-life glimpse into the adventures of a young mermaid. Written and drawn entirely by Kochalka, the story captures his signature playful, minimalist style and gentle humor. Though brief in its initial release, the series endures as a charming, self-contained introduction to Kochalka’s unique storytelling voice.
