The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Hunt Emerson brings his wild, expressive cartooning to Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s epic poem in this 1989 Eclipse Comics one-shot. A faithful, visually inventive adaptation of the mariner’s supernatural voyage and his haunted telling of its moral weight, it stands as a distinctive literary-comics hybrid. Emerson’s singular art transforms the classic verse into a kinetic, darkly funny experience that remains a cult favorite among fans of ambitious comic adaptations.
