Sailor Twain

In 2013, Egmont Ehapa launched Sailor Twain, a single-issue comic that reimagines the classic mermaid myth through a dark, atmospheric lens. The story follows a riverboat captain whose encounter with a mysterious woman on the Hudson River leads to a haunting exploration of obsession and desire. This self-contained graphic novella is best known for its striking, moody artwork and its tight, literary narrative. It stands as a singular, self-contained work that proves a compelling story doesn't need a lengthy run.
