Mark Siegel, the editorial director of the remarkable graphic novel publisher FirstSecond, has begun serializing his comic "Sailor Twain, or the Mermaid in the Hudson" on the web. This is Siegel's labor of love, a wonderful and weird comic that he's been working on for five years now. It's damned exciting to find it online!

Sailor Twain (Thanks, Mark!)

(Disclosure: I am currently in contract negotiations with FirstSecond for a graphic adaptation of one of my stories)

Previously:
  • The Photographer: gripping graphic memoir about doctors in Soviet ...
  • Three Shadows: haunting and dreamlike graphic novel of love ...

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Yeah, I think you’re underselling this one with the head you chose for the post.

    This is great. I love the art; check out Mrs. Camomille’s reflection in the last panel.

    Oooh, that is pretty. Much nicer than the simple head you used for this post’s image – why not use a grab of the lovely interior pages instead?
