Ben Towle's critically
acclaimed, Eisner-nominated comic finally comes to print! In the coastal town of
Blood's Haven, the economy runs on oysters. Oyster farming is one of the most
lucrative professions, but also the most dangerous. Not just from the
unforgiving ocean and its watery depths-there are also oyster pirates to worry
about! Commander Davidson Bulloch and his motley crew are tasked with capturing
these ne'er-do-wells-but they don't know that Treacher Fink, the pirates'
leader, possesses a magical artifact that can call forth a legendary spirit with
the power to control the sea and everything in it!
