About the series
Alterna's Scrimshaw is a two-issue miniseries that launched in 2017, exploring the quiet, eerie tension of a small coastal town where the art of scrimshaw—carving on whale ivory—holds a dark, supernatural significance. Writer and artist Tyler Chin-Tanner crafts a moody, atmospheric story that blends folklore with a modern mystery, focusing on the weight of tradition and the secrets etched into bone. Though brief, the series stands out for its deliberate pacing and hauntingly detailed black-and-white artwork, making it a compelling, if understated, entry in Alterna's catalog of creator-driven comics.
