Description
The Gull Yettin by Joe Kessler is a wordless graphic novel that tells the story of an orphaned boy's life shaped by the devotion of a fantastical gull. In this beautifully rendered work, the artist explores themes of grief, jealousy, longing, and love, using striking colors and loose yet confident lines to build a strange yet recognizable world.
The book follows the boy as he awakens late one night to find his home on fire, and is saved by a shapeshifting gull. Orphaned and adrift in a boat piloted by the gull, the boy faces an uncertain future, one that will be both helped and hindered by his new attendant.
Without a word, Kessler builds a poignant world that explores the complexities of human emotion, and the compassion and cruelty that can dwell within us. A beautifully crafted folktale that proves Joe Kessler is pushing the boundaries of comics to new heights.
