Anzuelo -- Emma Rios, Paperback

"A sweeping magical-realist coming-of-age story set after the apocalypse." -- The New York Times

"Ríos pits a group of teens against a changed world in a bid to survive in this stunningly rendered postapocalyptic eco-horror graphic novel." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

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 critically acclaimed, hand-watercolored graphic novel by the Eisner award-winning cartoonist Emma Ríos (Pretty Deadly, Mirror, I.D.).

About the Author
Emma is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited Island and created I.D., Mirror in two parts: The Mountain and The Nest with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed Pretty Deadly with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.
