Scrimshaw Vol.1

Follow Hans and the crew of the Runaway Horse as they make their way in the New Pacific, a world of ruthless business, uneasy truces, and shifting alliances—a world abided by steel, marked by mutation, and at the mercy of the violent sea. A genre-mixing science and swordplay adventure on the high seas, Scrimshaw tells the story of a possible future in which the world has been affected global warming, genetic and agricultural manipulation, and conflict between so-called superpowers. With members hailing from Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, and American Samoa, the crew of the Runaway Horse has a colorful past and an uncertain future. Tackling issues like global warming, overfishing, corporate exploitation, political over-reach, and race relations head-on, Scrimshaw also revolves around one of the oldest and most maligned traits that mankind possesses: our ability to make war.
