Meet Army Shanks -- crusty old sea dog and legendary brawler of the high
Arctic seas! He's got just one mission: to find the mythical island
paradise known as Far Arden, which lies hidden (so they say) in the
wintry oceans of the far North. But there's more than just water
standing between Shanks and his goal: he'll have to contend with circus
performers, adorable orphans, heinous villains, bitter ex-lovers,
well-meaning undergraduates, and the full might of the Royal Canadian
Arctic Navy! Not to mention he's not so sure how to get to Far Arden in
the first place...
In his first solo graphic novel, Kevin Cannon (Top Ten; Bone Sharps,
Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards) proves himself a master spinner of yarns
with Far Arden.
