The New York Times-bestselling author of Star Wars: The High Republic – The Rising Storm turns to comics for this gruesome graphic novel takedown of the prison industrial complex--where the ghosts are real, dangerous, and incredibly valuable.
Ghosts are real and dangerous. But they’re also valuable, their ectoplasm capable of curing countless diseases. There’s only one problem: Harvesting the wonder drug can be just as deadly.
Prisoner Gus Ortiz is willing to take the risk in return for a reduced sentence—anything to see his daughter again. All it will take is a few months at sea scraping ectoplasm off the walls of the Perdition, a floating prison containing the most vicious ghosts on Earth. Surrounded by dark waters, Gus soon realizes that angry spirits are the least of his worries.
Lock yourself away and set sail for this daring adventure by New York Times-bestselling author Cavan Scott (Star Wars: The High Republic) and fan-favorite artist Nick Brokenshire (Star Wars Adventures).
“A rollicking and spooky start to a great new series! It's got ghosts, colorful characters, and the end left me wanting more. A lot more.” –Michael Moreci, author of Barbaric, The Plot, Wasted Space, and Curse
“Should definitely be on your radar.” –Alex Segura, author of Araña and Spider-Man 2099: Dark Tomorrow
“If you love horror and comics…this is perfect for you!” –Ario Anindito, artist for Black Panther, Star Wars and Death of Wolverine
“TERRIFIC. Bravo, Cavan Scott!” –Marc Guggenheim, author of X-Men and Last Flight Out
“It’s great! Envision, if you will, a prison ship miles from shore, chock full of ne’er-do-wells. PLUS! It’s deeply haunted!” –Charles Soule, writer of Undiscovered Country, Vader and Daredevils
“Cavan Scott’s dialogue and narrative techniques serve to ensnare the reader’s attention…an excellently crafted visual narrative with interesting panel designs and terrific use of shadow…a well crafted ghost tale with compelling character stories.” –Pop Culture Squad
“Series writer Cavan Scott has an impressive track record for writing thoroughly enjoyable stories, and he does a great job of setting the scene and establishing the status quo for this new series…IDW are churning out a ton of top quality creator-owned books, and Dead Seas has the potential to be right near the top of that list.” –BCP
