Set in New York City after the melting of the polar ice caps, an
independent loner along with his cat and only friend, navigates the
flooded city as he tries to live another day.
Each morning he sails in search of food, crossing paths with others from
this makeshift community--from outsiders like himself to the depraved
and ruthless elite--all struggling to maintain a sense of normalcy in a
city drowned in its past.
But everything changes when he encounters both a mysterious woman and a
trapped blue whale. Will they be each other's salvation . . . or
destruction?
An eco-fiction fable of epic proportions, POST YORK is an expansion of

and other bonus material.

James Romberger...is in the highest horror-comics tradition.--The New
York Times Book Review
Romberger's art is a fine version of bony realism - his figures are so
casually realistic, you can almost see the joints moving.--Entertainment
Weekly
James Romberger's Post York is a set of three alluvial nightmares that
talk about what small changes can do in the New York we are heading to
all too quickly. It makes one aspect of climate change distressingly
real... it's good to see a fine artist drawing about it
seriously.--Samuel R. Delany, Dhalgren and Through the Valley of the
Nest of Spiders
Told in a brutal use of light and shadow, this desolate tale of
post-apocalypse sucker-punches you with...of all things...hope.-- Matt
Kindt, Bang!, Ether, Dept.H
Post York casts deep human drama against an epic canvas with wonderful
artwork by James Romberger. Highy recommended.--Jeff Lemire, Sweet
Tooth, Black Hammer and Old Man Logan
(Post York is) beautiful on multiple levels. It shouldn't be this rare
to see sequential art be so precise and open-hearted at the same time.
We also shouldn't be seeing this world burn and drown, but here we
are.--Ales Kot, Zero, Winter Soldier and Material
