Summary:
Killing a sixty-ton sperm whale that could destroy a boat
with a flick of its massive tail was no easy task. Whalemen of
the early nineteenth century were not just hunters, they were
also explorers—sailing on the uncharted sea in search of
some of the largest creatures on earth. The most famous whale
of all? Moby Dick. Here are Ishmael, Queequeq, Ahab, and of
course, Moby Dick, rendered anew in a dynamic comic book
adaptation of one of the greatest American novels ever written.
The book also includes information about Herman Melville, facts
about whales, and the history of the whaling industry. With all
the flare and blaze of Melville’s original story, Moby
Dick is sure to intrigue a new generation of readers with this
fast-paced and electric portrayal of the famous battle between
man and beast.
