Reading this, I don't understand why it took so long for someone to realize what a perfect artist Peter Snejbjerg is for Abe Sapien. This is a story set in the early 80s, which has Abe traveling on a salvage boat of questionable captaincy, looking for a potentially mystical artifact that was lost when a Soviet submarine sunk in 1948.
It follows the typical type of plot for a BPRD story. In other words, the object is found, but it has a mystical defender, and so on and so on. What I like about this particular tale is the way in which it shows Abe's human side, as his instincts tell him to handle this issue differently than his companions.
This is a good story, with fantastic art, and some very nice covers by Dave Johnson. Recommended.
