The first book in Joey Weiser’s Eisner Award-nominated series is now in paperback!

But with the whole ocean out looking for him, it’s going to be harder than he thought!

• Available for the first time ever in a softcover trade and at a lower price—$12.99!
• The first installment in the Mermin series by Joey Weiser (Spongebob Comics), previously nominated for the Eisner Awards’ “Best Publication for Early Readers”!
• This kid-friendly adventure about a heroic shark-kicking merman is perfect for early readers interested in superhero comics.
• This Spongebob Squarepants-esque adventurer will be a hit with fans of  films like Studio Ghibli’s Ponyo, Disney’s Lilo & Stich, and The Iron Giant.
