Marvel Comics Moby-Dick by Herman Melville (Hardcover)

"To chase the white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of Earth--till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out!"

These words, snarled by Captain Ahab, reveal his dark obsession--vengeance on Moby Dick, the gigantic sea beast to whom he lost a leg during his previous whaling voyage. Ahab is the maelstrom, the human whirlpool, around whom the other elements in this epic novel circle and swirl--the young seaman Ishmael, the savage harpooner Queequeg, the tormented first mate Starbuck, and a doomed crew. Or is it around Moby Dick himself that everything dizzily revolves, as that vast creature draws men and ships to it in an ever-quickening dance of death?

Herman Melville's masterful 1851 novel has been faithfully and excitingly adapted by award-winning writer Roy Thomas and Talented young artists Pascal Alixe and Victor Olazaba, with covers by John Watson.
