Sailor Twain: Or: The Mermaid in the Hudson by Mark Siegel

3.0

I'm not sure how well the art worked in this quirky GN--comic book faces with shaded charcoal backgrounds; it was an awkward combination. I'm learning to be ok with and see the value in the fantastical in stories, so I liked the mermaid lore in this one. But I have to admit that I didn't really get it--getting halved? There were lots of (mermaid) boobies in this book, so I'd be reluctant to give it to younger readers even though that seems like the intended audience.
