Dark Horse Comics will publish acclaimed Spanish comic book creator Alex Vede’s original graphic novel, Riptide, in English for the first time. The book will arrive on August 20, three months after Vede’s first graphic novel with the publisher, Yucatan 1512, debuts in May.

Dark Horse Comics’ Riptide synopsis reads, “The secretive NARWAL organization is hiding powerful secrets during the most contentious point of the Cold War. One marine biologist, Max, is drawn into the mysteries surrounding whale communications that mention the legendary Ceto—an advanced underwater civilization believed to be a myth. If Max is forced to choose between his loyalty to humanity and the opportunity to bring about peace with the last inhabitants of the lost city of Atlantis, will he risk everything and save both species?”
