Anzuelo (Hardcover)

Nubero is a child preoccupied with death and fear, longing to be less like a human - more like a worm. After falling off of his grandfather's fishing boat, he wakes up on and unknown shore, greeted by two other children who help him get warm-- but not before the sea surrounding them reveals itself to be a much more complex and magical thing than any of them could have imagined.

Anzuelo is an absolute beauty of a limited-palette, watercolor graphic novel. Gorgeous panels pop out of every page, the watercolors never letting you forget the ocean that surrounds the characters. Abundant pink, red, and orange makes the work feel like a permanent sunset.

From the Publisher: A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope. The Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, rises one day. The horizon folds as the Sea absorbs the world and transforms everything that's been pulled inside it. Three kids find themselves unmoored and lost, but brought together by the physical and mental changes wrought by the tides and a desire to avoid harming any living creature. Anzuelo is the new graphic novel by the Eisner award-winning cartoonist Emma Ríos.
