review:
'Forbidden Harbor' with story by Teresa Radice and art by Stefano Turconi is a story I got to read the first half of earlier this year. The story is now complete in this edition.

A young man is found shipwrecked on an island. He has no memory of who he is or how he got there. It turns out he is quite adept at the ship trade, so he finds himself a cabin boy and a favorite among the officers. He finds himself drawn in to help the daughters of a captain Stevenson, and begins to unravel the mystery behind what happened. On a new boat with a new captain, he finds himself back where he was found.

Filled with poetry and a good sense of naval history, this graphic novel feels literate as well as bittersweet. I just wish the art had a more finished look to it. The art feels like the pencils that inkers get to finish. Perhaps someday this will happen. For now, this is a pretty good story and I'm glad I was able to finish this story.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from NBM Publishing, Papercutz, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
