7 Miles a Second

Each morning he sails in search of food, crossing paths with others from this makeshift community--from outsiders like himself to the depraved and ruthless elite--all struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy in a city drowned in its past. But everything changes when he encounters both a mysterious woman and a trapped blue whale. Will they be each other's salvation . . . or destruction?

JAMES ROMBERGER is an Eisner-nominated cartoonist, fine artist and artist of the graphic novels 7 Miles a Second, The Late Child and Other Animals, Bronx Kill and Aaron and Ahmed. "James Romberger...is in the highest horror-comics tradition."--The New York Times Book Review "Romberger's art is a fine version of bony realism - his figures are so casually realistic, you can almost see the joints moving."--Entertainment Weekly
