Commander Davidson Bulloch, a former Confederate Navy submarine captain, gets more than he bargains for when he signs on as the first captain of Maryland's new "Oyster Navy" and sets out to rid the Chesapeake Bay of illegal oyster dredgers. Beset with an aging crew of misfits and his cantankerous iron-clad steamer, The Layla, Davidson quickly realizes he's dealing with more than just some purloined oysters; the nefarious pirate Treacher Fink has hatched a plan to summon the ghost of a legendary Chesapeake Bay waterman who has the power to control the sea and everything in it.

Reminds me of Sweethaven from the Popeye movie.

Good job on the Maryland flag. I grew up in Rising Sun, MD (honorary eastern shore-on the east side of the Susquehanna River at the top of the bay) and always thought the flag was way too complex to draw.

In a hundred years, it will be a metropolis with a masked defender named Nightwing.

IN a hundred years, it will be under 3 feet of water, if not more.

Suessian view of the schlock on the beach that obscures a beautiful view. Wonderful art work!

With that much detail in the artwork, I can forgive Ben for just turning out one panel a week.

Yep! The design (and name, obviously) of Blood’s Haven is based in part on Sweethaven from the film. That movies a real mess, but I have a soft spot for it.

Yeah, I was definitely looking at some Dr. Seuss architecture when I designed the general look of Blood’s Haven.

Starting with the next page, there’ll be a whole lot more going on as far as action, number of panels, etc.
