The Long-Anticipated Original Graphic Novel by Emma Ríos ANZUELO Arrives This November

Eisner Award winning cartoonist Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Mirror, I.D.) will both write and draw the upcoming, original graphic novel, ANZUELO. A gorgeous and brutal story that revolts against the notion of violence as the only response to a life without hope, this beautiful, feast-for-the-eyes standalone story is set to hit shelves this Fall from Image Comics.

In ANZUELO, the Sea, secretly more complex than anyone imagined, revolts 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.

"l wanted to write the Sea under my skin and I'm fortunate to become someone else in the process,” said cartoonist Emma Ríos.

ANZUELO is a breathtaking, Dystopian story with an expansive scope and style perfect for fans of organic universes like Darcy Van Poelgeest and Ian Bertram Little Bird and Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon’s Daytripper.

You can watch an animated trailer made by Ríos and animator Luis Yang on YouTube.

Here’s what people are saying about ANZUELO…

"Emma is a master of her craft, an absolute beast of an artist with the delicate touch of a poet."—E.M. Carroll, Through the Woods, A Guest in the House.

"Echoing the transformative odysseys of Octavia Butler and the speculative resilience of Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy, Emma Ríos’s Anzuelo is a story of survival, connection, and evolution that resonates with the depth and mystery of the ocean." —Kelly Sue DeConnick, Bitch Planet

"Anzuelo beckons us on a walkabout and asks us to listen to the sea and know Earth’s creatures as our collaborators in what is to come. You are in good hands with master storyteller Emma Ríos. It’s a beautiful ride. A must-have graphic novel." —Ann Nocenti, Daredevil, The Seeds

The ANZUELO original graphic novel hardcover (ISBN: 979-8368809267, Lunar Code 0924IM243) will be available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, November 6, and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 19.

ANZUELO will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
