Sailor Twain

A hauntingly romantic graphic novel from First Second, Sailor Twain is a single-issue tale set in late 19th-century New York, where a steamboat captain becomes entangled with a mysterious woman who may be a mermaid. Written and illustrated by Mark Siegel, the story weaves folklore with a moody, atmospheric art style, exploring themes of love, obsession, and the secrets of the Hudson River. Its standalone nature and lyrical storytelling make it a memorable, self-contained gem in modern graphic fiction.
