Based on an Inuit traditional story passed down orally for
generations, The Cannibal tells the horrific tale of a family
experiencing starvation when the animals they rely on for survival
disappear. While the wife stays alive by eating plants she gathers
daily, the husband does the unthinkable, resorting to murder and
cannibalism. Horrified and terrified for her life, the wife
eventually finds herself alone in camp with her husband. She knows
what will happen to her if she does not find a way to escape.
Hatching a plan to escape to her family’s camp, the exhausted
wife embarks on the journey with her murderous husband in pursuit.
After safely arriving to her family, she shares the story of what
has become of her camp, and her own children. Soon the husband
arrives, and the wife’s family must decide how to deal with the
cannibal. Both horrific and poignant, this cautionary traditional
story provides a window into the at times harsh realities of
traditional life.
While everyone is busy preparing for the coming winter, two girls
wander away from their camp, following a path of strange, beautiful
stones. Each stone is lovelier than the last, and the trail leads
them farther and farther away from camp. But what starts out as a
peaceful afternoon on the land, quickly turns dangerous when the
girls find themselves trapped in the cave of Mangittatuarjuk - the
Gnawer of Rocks! Based on a traditional Inuit legend, this graphic
novel introduces readers to a dark and twisted creature that haunts
the Northern landscape and preys on unsuspecting children
