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.
