The Castaways #[nn]
In "The Castaways," 13-year-old Tucker Freeman is sent away from his struggling farm with little more than a few coins and a harsh lesson in being a burden. With nowhere to go, he jumps a train and stumbles into the company of the mysterious vagabond Elijah Freeman, whose quiet wisdom offers a glimpse into life on the road during the Depression-era Midwest. Written by Rob Vollmar and brought to life through the distinct art of Pablo G. Callejo, Farel Dalrymple, and Rajiv Golay—with Callejo also handling the cover—this poignant tale captures a fleeting moment of connection and survival, all rendered with a delicate, grounded hand.
