review:
'Esteban 1. The Whaler' with words and art by Matthieu Bonhomme is the story of a young boy who joins a whaling crew.

The story begins with the death of Esteban's mother. He has to find a way in the world and that way leads the ship Leviathan. Apparently the captain knew his mother and takes Estaban onboard. Esteban really wants to be a harpooner, but he has a lot to learn. Life aboard ship is hard, but Esteban makes his way.

It's a good beginning to a coming of age story, and Esteban and other characters seem pretty well written. The art is good too, especially nice action scenes of men in boats against huge whales.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
