This week’s Comic Book/Graphic Novel Highlight we showcase the graphic novel ‘Leviathan’ by Ian Edgington and D’Israeli.

In 1928, the Leviathan, the largest cruise liner the world had ever seen, was launched, bound for New York, with a crew and passenger complement totalling nearly 30,000 people. It was never seen again.

Twenty years later, one of the remaining passengers, Detective Sergeant Lament, begins to investigate the mystery at the liner’s heart. What he discovers will change his world forever and might just bring the Leviathan home.

Not only does this graphic novel sound like a awesome supernatural thriller, the novel’s cover is pretty sweet too.

What do you look for in a graphic novel? Is it the cover that catches your eye and makes you investigate further? Or is it a well-known story?
