Eel Mansions, Derek Van Gieson's first full-length graphic novel, is a
supernatural soap opera noir. Set in Mill City: a grimy place inhabited
by new wave satanists, secret agents, booze-hounds, record-store clerks,
conspiracy theorists, murderers, and cartoonists. Derek Van Gieson
skillfully unweaves a knotted sweater of intrigue, suspense, and dark
humor.
Derek Van Gieson is a Minneapolis-based artist, writer, and
