From master illustrator and storyteller Chabouté comes his internationally bestselling graphic novel Alone, featuring stunning black ink visuals—now available to American audiences for the first time!
Every week, a boat bring supplies and leaves it on a tiny lighthouse island, only to have them later consumed by a unseen figure—a figure who seems mythological in his continual absence.
