Herman Melville's classic nautical saga of obsession and revenge is brought boldly to life in this thrilling, full-color graphic novel edition.
It was an obsession that would destroy them all... When the young sailor Ishmael signs up for a whaling expedition aboard a ship known as the Pequod, little does he know he is about to embark on the greatest adventure of his life. Just before leaving, he is approached by a man dressed in rags who warns him that if he sails under the command of Captain Ahab, he may never come back. Undaunted, Ishmael sets off for the high seas anyway. For the crew of the Pequod, their voyage is one of monetary gain.
