Preview: Mishka and the Sea Devil
Mishka and the Sea Devil is a new release from the small publisher Action Lab (known around these parts as the publisher of Princeless) that came out during New York Comic Con last week. I can’t find a catalog page on the site for it, but here’s the info from their marketing e-mail:
Eleven days trapped on a mysterious island. Eleven chapters drawn in eleven different styles. One incredible artist.
After a chance encounter at sea, fisherman Mishka washes ashore on an uncharted island. Surrounded by monsters and worse, can Mishka survive long enough to solve the mystery of the Sea Devil and return home? Join her, Captain Furball and Admiral Ghost on the adventure of their lives!
The print edition is $24.99 but you can buy the individual issues on comiXology for 99 cents each.
This preview includes pages from several different chapters so you can see the different art styles.
