A mermaid’s journey through a water-scarce wasteland

A lone mermaid crosses an endless post-apocalyptic wasteland, moving between scarce pockets of water while facing cybernetic cannibals and mutant beasts.

Derek Kirk Kim’s graphic novel frames its dystopian setting around a striking survival predicament: a sea creature must keep going through a landscape where water is hard to find. This first volume collects issues #1–6, introducing an adventure built around exposure, danger, and unanswered questions.

Book overview

"Epic. Heart-breaking. Utterly gorgeous. You'll love every panel of this sprawling saga." --Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese)

The Last Mermaid is a post-apocalyptic adventure that is perfect for fans of lush, animation-style artwork like that of Isola, Low, and classic Miyazaki.

A lone mermaid roams an endless wasteland on a quest beyond reason. To press ever onward, she must survive the interminable stretches between tiny pockets of water, roaming bands of cybernetic cannibals and fearsome mutant beasts. What propels her forward to take such a risk? And who is that cloaked figure watching her from afar...?

Eisner, Harvey and Ignatz Award-winning writer/artist Derek Kirk Kim's first graphic novel in a decade kicks off an epic journey--a literal fish-out-of-water story that will turn the post-apocalyptic genre on its ear.
