Flood!: A Novel in Pictures

In 2002, Dark Horse published Flood!: A Novel in Pictures, a single-issue graphic novel by artist and writer Eric Drooker. This wordless, painted narrative chronicles a nameless man's journey through a surreal, waterlogged city and beyond, capturing a haunting, poetic vision of urban and spiritual transformation. Drooker's stark, expressionistic style—honed in his underground comix and poster art—gives the story a timeless, cinematic weight. Though brief, the book stands as a singular, powerful example of the silent graphic novel form.
